Description: After inserting a checkbox form control in Writer and save it to a DOC file the checkbox label is missing. It might be related to the fact that it's exported as a MSO legacy control. It would be better to save it as an MSO activeX control, since activeX control has a better match with LO checkbox control (e.g. appearance, properties, positionin). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. Insert a checkbox control (Insert -> Form Control -> Check Box) 3. Anchor it as character 4. Save it in a DOC file 5. Open it in MSO or LO Actual Results: Checkbox's label is missing after reopening the document. Expected Results: Label should be preserved.
