TrichView does not import text boxes from the example file https://www.trichview.com/forums/downlo ... hp?id=1016
ScaleRichView does. Did you miss a setting?

TRichView shows text boxes only on printing or previewing (just like footnotes and endnotes).

ActionTest demos implements editing text boxes and notes in a separate editor.
If you check "Non-printing Characters", you will see flag icons in places where text boxes or notes are inserted. Move the caret to this icon and click "Insert | Edit Note". This action edits the current note/text box or (if there is no current note/text box) the next note/text box. You will see the note/text box editor.
If you click "Format | Object Properties" (Alt + Enter) while editing a text box, you will be able to edit the text box properties.

Greetings Sergey,
Thank you for this note on the flag. Would it be possible to have the option to have these flags on more permanently instead of hidden?
We do a lot of conversion work and we rely on data integrity which this docx import is very very nice. We are just afraid of missing something like this. Or should we on our end whenever the user scrolls past a flag display it in a floating box? Ideas are appreciated.

Ok, I'll add RVAlwaysShowPlaceholders global variable in the next update.
