Which brings the discussion full circle. The point is that while between them, draw and writer offer an impressive set of facilities (and certainly vastly more than I need for home use), the division of these facilities between them does mean that some jobs are "not obvious" and need tedious workaraounds while a very few are impossible. So, to summarize, if you want a full set of fields, use writer - but don't expect good graphics facilities. If you want full graphics facilities, don't expect any database support. At least, not without jumping through hoops. My issue is that there seems no particularly good reason for at least some restrictions - types of insert fields in draw, for instance. While some superficially identical entities (eg differently inserted graphics) have very different properties.
