While the Text content of the Text Box (or Text annotation onto a Draw Shape) is technically a Paragraph--it does not have the same methods available to Paragraph objects on the Writer canvas or within Document Frames on the Writer canvas. Display of non-printing characters (returns, line breaks, spaces, tabs, non-breaking spaces/tabs, etc.) within a Text Box, or the Text annotation of a Draw Shape, are simply missing method(s) for the class(s). It could be implemented, but as Heiko notes--what is the use case? As is you have immediate feed back on any formatting changes applied to the Text of a Draw Text Box, or Text annotation of a Draw Shape. What more is needed that would aid composition?
