WRITER: 1.- Insert a basic shape in Writer: INSERT -> SHAPE -> (any oprion) 2.- Insert a formula : INSERT -> OBJECT -> FORMULA (this option is not available!, grayed) DRAW: 1.- Insert a basic shape in Writer: INSERT -> SHAPE -> (any oprion) 2.- Insert a formula : INSERT -> OBJECT -> FORMULA (this option is available!, but places the formula object outside the shape)
I can reproduce the steps for Writer, but I can't reproduce it for Draw, because the first step is not possible for me (there is no shape entry in the Insert-menu).

I forgot that in Draw the shapes are inserted via the toolbars. The fact is that after the shape we can insert a formula with Math, thing that we can't do with Writer.
Some correction to the steps to reproduce WRITER: 1.- Insert a basic shape in Writer: INSERT -> SHAPE -> (any oprion) 2.- Insert a formula : INSERT -> OBJECT -> FORMULA (this option is not available!, grayed) DRAW: 1.- Insert a basic shape in Draw: Use the toolbars, by example FLOWCHART 2.- Insert a formula : INSERT -> OBJECT -> FORMULA (this option is available!, but places the formula object outside the shape)

Clearly NAB, if you need a Math formula object overlaid on a Draw object on Writer canvas, just place the object with Insert -> Object -> Formula and anchor both to Page or Paragraph as needed. However, they can not be linked or grouped (other than sharing an anchor point). Or you can work within a Frame, dropping Draw objects and Math OLE formulas into a Frame on Writer canvas--anchor the objects to Frame and adjust the layering. The Frame will then move. Either way Draw objects and Math Formula OLE objects are simply handled differently between the Draw canvas or when added to the Writer canvas directly or into a Frame object. Suppose a Writer enhancement to do so, but not clear there is much of a requirement for Draw canvas handling in Writer context, see also bug 104327 was one such. A lot would depend on limitations of ODF Text Document to hold the OLE Math formula and Draw shapes consistently.
