It is impossible to draw using connector lines in Wriler or Calc. They are absent on the drawing toolbar and cannot be added via toolbar customization. Please, add them because it is very convenient to draw flowcharts directly in Writer. LO version 3.6.1.2. In 3.6.0.4 it was the same.
Very old problem, before the start of LibreOffice. The Writer's graphic layer is not the same as the graphic layer of Draw. Workaround : start to drawing connectors in Draw then copy&paste in your text document. Now you can modify the connectors in Writer even if the connectors tool is not available in the drawing toolbar. AFAIK, a long term project is to unify the graphic layers of Writer and Draw. Set as enhancement. best regards. JBF

Thank you, but it is not usable now because of the strange connectors behavior on document zoom. I have added the new bug ( bug 54355 ).
1. Can you provide a work around for -editing- the connectors after they are moved to Calc? I create various connectors from Draw, and copy/paste the collection into Calc. Then, I copy/paste the connectors to build-out the graphic in Calc But, there is no way to amend any connector traits, once in Calc 2. Any idea when the long term project to unify the drawing tools will be done? 2a. Is the plan to include/unify across -all- modules? (this would make sense...) 2b. Which version will introduce the unification?
Note: Connectors copied to Writer land as paragraph anchored. Bug 54355 is actually narrower: it exists when the connector and other objects are paragraph anchored; the behavior disappears (for me) when the objects are set to page anchoring.
FYI -- for the bug's readers.... The missing connector button(s), and presumably the drawing layer unification, are not yet available as of 4.0.4 Some modification of the connectors appears possible when copied from Draw into Calc, using the Drawing Formatting Toolbar. I have not figured out how to modify the endpoints (arrow formatting and etc.) in Calc, directly. There are no arrow tools, there. I am not modifying the version information for the bug.
What about 5.2.0 RC1 ? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?version=5.2.0
Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon Libreoffice Writer 5.2 and 5.3 It is impossible to draw using connector lines in Wriler: they are missing from the drawing toolbar and cannot be added via toolbar customization. I see that this is a VERY old problem, present since 29/8/2012 and that many users are suffering for it. Therefore, I am really disappointed for it not having been resolved yet. Five years living with this bug is a very, very, very long time! Please, add connectors to Writer as they are in Draw, because it is very convenient to draw hierarchy trees and flowcharts directly in documents. "Copy & paste" from Draw are NOT an option for me, because anything I "copy" from Draw gets unacceptably resized (i.e. magnified) when "pasted" into Writer. Even though I love LibreOffice, this problem is so disturbing for me that I am tempted to return to Microsoft Word only to be able to get rid of it. Because, yes: connectors are alive and working in MS Word, as much as they are expected to be in Writer. Very, very, very disappointing for me. Any Developers interested in taking this challenge? I dearly hope so! Thank you.

In Draw, 1) create a shape, like blue-filled 4-point star 2) create a shape, like blue-filled box 3) add a connector between them 4) copypaste into Writer If so, it didn't change the zooming at all even when Draw had 80% zoom and Writer 100% in use; it compensated perfectly for that.

If it doesn't with you, that's fine. But it does with me. Anyway, Copy&Paste is just an expedient, not a solution. We use it because we can't create connectors in the first place, i.e. directly in Writer. So I do NOT consider Copy&Paste an option, nor do I care that it hields different outcome for you than it does for me. What I care and what I dearly hope is that the "Connectors" tool shows on the drawing toolbar of LibreOffice Writer. Because, if I don't, I'll be forced to address to alternative software: I write technical documents. I can do no serious work with Writer as it is now. Moreover, I can't help wondering why this bug has been around for so long: might the LibreOffice code be too garbled to be debugged? And, if it is, is it safe to rely on LibreOffice for professional work? What else may I discover if I use it more extensively? It's my overall trust in LibreOffice and its Developers to be in doubt. I really don't like feeling like this. I'm writing this in the hope that some clever Developer empathises with me and manages to finally fix this bug. Thank you everybody for your understanding and help.
What helps a bit with copy/paste is to perform the paste with selection of a format (Ctrl-Shift-V), especially choosing the metafile format. That inserts a drawing created in Draw or Impress quite nicely as a (vector?) image into Writer. It is still not ideal, of course, as in order to be able to edit the drawing later, you also need to keep the Draw or Impress file around.
This one is earlier, but Bug 79356 has better summary + blocked more META bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 79356 ***
