Hi.
Its not just text in a box. I have had problems with charts and may be 
tables and lines and annotations from docx.
2 screen snaps attached for Tom showing something I don't really want 
bandied about in public that won't import and which google docs garbles.

Hi :)
Yes :(  All sorts of boxes with text in them could be affected.  This looks like 
the same problem.  Is there a bug-report about this that can be added to?  Text 
out-side of boxes seems fine.  Pictures seem fine although possibly just moved 
around a little.

I think annotations is a separate bug-report.
Regards from
Tom :)

PS That was kinda semi-confidential.  There were no clues about locations (even 
to the nearest hemisphere), time, dates (to the nearest decade), or even events 
& all best kept that way.
