I think you do want to copy and paste there, because that's how the
editeng RTF export is invoked. An alternative would be to go via
text::XTextCopy, but that is more about copying from Writer to Writer.

The other odd part of the test is how you enter and leave the shape text
edit mode. You can see how SwTiledRenderingTest's testViewLock uses
BeginTextEdit() and EndTextEdit() for this. If it works in your case,
then using those functions instead of pressing "enter" and "esc" at
magic places would be more clean, I guess.
