I have added in the import now, that the rescued properties from the 
text in the frame are applied to the string in the Fontwork. Now a not 
changed fill and line style will be preserved on resave to docx. The 
result is not exactly the same as in LO7.5, because any fill and stroke 
of the Word-rectangle are still lost. On the other hand, now the handle 
positions are correct, whereas LO7.5 has only default handles. I think, 
that now the result is satisfactory, at least for the time till we have 
a proper general export.

Kind regards,
Regina
