------------------------------------------------------------

In the xml, the AAAAAAA... exists as a paragraph within the text box:
{noformat}
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="FrameContents"/>
<w:rPr></w:rPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:r><w:rPr></w:rPr><w:t>AAAAAAAAAAAAAA</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
{noformat}

Is there any signal that we should skip that section?

When I save the file as text, the entire text box disappears.  When I save it 
as html, the AAAAA... appears:
{noformat}
 <span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;position:
relative;z-index:251657728;left:-98px;top:47px;width:1795px;height:130px'><img
width=718 height=33 src="TestData_files/image001.gif"
alt="Text Box: TEST:  &#13;&#10;AAAAAAAAAAAAAA&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;"
v:shapes="_x0000_s1026"></span>
{noformat}
