Is it possible to set Writer callout text paragraph style (or default settings, 
if so where please.
This is to avoid having to change the font and left hand offset in every line 
callout one at a time.

No, it is not possible. Using the legacy callouts or the custom shape callouts 
makes no difference. You get always a shape and in Writer neither for the shape 
itself nor for the text in the shape styles are possible. You can only use 
direct formatting in Writer.

Your distinction between legacy callouts and custom shape callouts implies that 
the basic idea has been around for some time, and special callout shapes were 
added later. Do you recall when it started, and at what point someone was moved 
to add custom shapes?

The legacy callouts are a kind of text box. They exists from the beginning in 
StarOffice. Custom shapes are introduced in OpenOffice.org 2.0. They are part 
of the change from OpenOffice XML to ODF 1.0.

  In order to
understand the issue (and any possible deficiencies) further, I would like to:
  (4) try to understand when and why Vertical Callouts were added to the 
Drawing toolbar (but not made visible).

They are visible, if you have enabled support for East Asian languages in Tools > 
Options > Language Settings > Languages > Asian.

Perfect! Thank you! - This has been an important education.

Kind regards,
John
