How to create a lockedCanvas in MSWord?

[Regina Henschel]

Hi Miklos, hi all,

my patch is now in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/119684

I have included tests with image, line, group, and custom-shape.

The lockedCanvas can have child element GvmlGraphicObjectFrame in 
addition. That is TableShape, ChartShape or OLE2Shape, I think. So if 
someone has a test document for that, I could test whether it really 
works and write a unittest with it.

If you can generate such document, please attach it to 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143476

Besides that, the patch is ready. Because it changes the way 
lockedCanvas is imported, it would be good, if you review it.

Kind regards
Regina
