Allow document coding to be read if it is inside a text box.

Some people have been trying to make custom documents by uploading PDFs to word docs as watermarks, then trying to put info from neos in custom places. However the only way to format the text to line up reliably is to place text boxes and Neos does not read text within text boxes.

    To add, the reason for this request is that PDF templates do not support multiple parties. Any [[Full Name]] tags will duplicate if a PDF is used.


    Another potential solution that would elimante this issue is to support the use of multiple parties i.e. [[Full Name 1]], [[Full Name2]] etc..

    The way to recreate this issue within word is to use the Insert > Text Box dialog. Create a text box field on the page. Then insert a 'tag' into the text box.


    If you upload this .docx to NEOs and attempt to populate the tag; NEOs does not read the tag inside the 'Text Box'.


    When filling out non-linear / boilerplate documents, one cannot control where text ends up. Without the use of text-boxes, documents with multiple tags on the same line cannot be controlled. Tags are often much longer in length and the templating software respects the font/size selected and thus tags cannot be resized in order to fit them in their respective areas.
