Some text documents

Hi Justin, here are some test documents. Please do not try to address all such
edge cases. They will not appear in PDF import. But you should be aware, that
they exist. Instead clearly describe the purpose of your tool in the release
notes.

I cannot test your new version of the patch before Friday. Perhaps someone else
has time to test it earlier. So please be patient.

"Text along path" is a feature for paths and curves, but works too on text
boxes, circles and rectangles. It is named "Fontwork". But that term conflicts
with the "Fontwork" from the "Fontwork Gallery". Therefore I prefer to say
"Text along path". With this term you will find it in other applications like
Corel Draw. You need a shape with text (not a custom shape!) and then click on
one of the right four icons in the first line of the Fontwork-dialog.
The uno-command for opening and closing the dialog for "Text along path" is
.uno:FontWork. You need to customize the UI to get it. It has the name
"Fontwork" and is in category "Format".

The shapes from the "Fontwork Gallery" are those, which are named "WordArt" in
Microsoft Office and are a special mode of custom shapes. Inside the code you
need to be careful, what feature is meant, if a variable or method contains
"fontwork" in its name.

A similar confusion is about "callout". There exists a group of custom shapes,
which are named "Callouts". But on the other hand there exists the icon
"Callouts" in the Text toolbox. You need to customize your UI to get this
toolbox. The command for the toolbox is in category Drawing.
