My understanding is that lockedCanvas is a workaround, because the
drawingML impl in PowerPoint 2007 was ready but not in Word 2007. So
when you copy a set of shapes from PowerPoint to Word in that version,
Word can render but not edit those shapes, locking them down.

I think 2010 and newer versions don't have this behavior anymore, but
the lockedCanvas element is now with us forever.

I attach a sample I just created this way in MSO 2007.

Regards,

Miklos
