Created attachment 172817 [details] Example file from Calc Attached file contains shapes with text, after changing the text anchor point in the Text box properties. After saving to XLSX and reloading the horizontally Left aligned texts become Center aligned. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached file 2. Save as XLSX, reload. Actual results: The horizontally left aligned texts become horizontally centered. The horizontally right aligned texts also become horizontally centered, but this alignment layout is not supported by Excel, so this is fine. Expected results: The horizontally left aligned texts stay horizontally left.

The problem is, that OOXML does not have attributes or elements which would correspond to the settings possible in ODF. You can find some explanations on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Text_in_Custom_Shapes In general you need to be very cautious not to mix up the anchor of the text box with the paragraph alignment. You can try to simulate the ODF rendering in OOXML somehow. But without additional information in the file, you will not be able to recreate the original settings on reopening. We might use the extension mechanism of OOXML to put information about the ODF attributes into the OOXML file. The problem itself is not specific to Calc. I think, we should make sure, that OOXML filters in Calc and Impress/Draw treat text in shapes the same way. [Writer is different because of the frame bound to custom shapes.] I set status to 'new' because the problem exists. But there might be duplicates; I have not searched yet.
Created attachment 173221 [details] spreadsheet with possibilities in OOXML The spreadsheets shows the possibilities of OOXML. The examples have 'Wrap text in shape' disabled and 'Allow text to overflow shape' enabled. Otherwise you cannot examine the overflow behavior of the textbox. This is all in latin LTR writing mode. RTL or east asian might have additional or different problems.
