Hi, I agree
We understand that Shape support is currently available via WordApiDesktop 1.2 for Windows and Mac.
However, this is a significant blocker for us and our customers, as our solution is primarily used in Word Online.
At the moment, the lack of Shape support in Word Online forces us to rely on complex OOXML workarounds, **which are limited and not reliable for our use cases**.
Is Shape support for Word Online actively planned?
If so, is there any timeline, target release window, or internal status you can share?
Even a high-level confirmation (planned / under consideration / not planned) would help us make product decisions.
Thanks for your time.
