This element specifies that the anchor location for this object shall not be modified at runtime when an application edits the contents of this document. [Guidance: An application might have automatic behaviors which reposition the anchor for a VML object based on user interaction - for example, moving it from one page to another as needed. This element shall tell applications not to perform any such behaviors. end guidance]

If this element is omitted, then the anchor shall not be locked for the parent VML object.

[Example: Consider a floating VML object which shall have its anchor locked at the current location. This setting would be specified as follows:

<wd:anchorLock/>

The anchorLock element's presence specifies that the VML object's current anchor location shall not be changed by applications editing this content. end example].
