Had the chance to play around with some code and I am beginning to think that it will not be possible to write text into a textbox using hwpf.
Firstly, my suggestion to use placeholders was completely useless. The placeholder was not recognised at all; I had hoped that it would be much as the text within a table's cell is. Secondly, all you are able to do with the Shape once you have it is recover it's location within the document and it's dimensions. Sadly, it does not seem possible to position a piece of text using these values so that it appears within the textbox. Sorry I could not be of more help.
