--- Comment #13 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
I see in LO -> docx -> LO roundtrip, that all of frame, drawing object text
(which has icon 'A' in the UI) and custom shape with connected frame (called
'text box' in the UI) result in a custom shape with connected frame.

LibreOffice writes it so to file, that it cannot know the original object type
on reopening.

Softmaker uses the a:ext element to write additional information into the file,
that it can use on reopening.

I can image some improvement in LO -> docx -> roundtrip:
Establish a better heuristic on import, to detect whether it could be a frame,
e.g. prstGeom="rect" without rotation but rich content.
Use the a:ext element to write additional information to the file. Word does
this a lot in using namespace "o:".
