Here is perhaps a better way to solve your problem. Create your
complete graphic in OOo Draw. Use Control + A to enclose everything.
Right click within the enclosure and select Group from the context
menu. Now copy and paste into your Writer document. All of the parts
should now stay together.
As far as frames are concerned, all of the guides created by OOo
Author's use frames for every graphic.
