I don't know how he implemented it.  The normal text shape is probably much to 
complex to use in a case like this, but I guess some things can be or are 
reused.

Regarding the EMF shape, it is much like the picture shape that we have.  That 
one is read-only as well. View it as a picture shape for vector pictures, 
which EMF really is.  It's a view format, much like postscript, not a format 
to store editable data.
