Perhaps I misunderstand, but you seem to want a floating entity containg some text, and within that entity, you want a formula object. AFAICS the only way to achieve that is within Writer - make a /frame/ (Insert | Frame) and put your text within it, and you'll find you can also - within that frame - do an Insert | Object | Formula. The inserted formula is then truly within the frame, and can be anchored or wrapped as any other object. (You can also flow text between such frames, btw.) A text /box/ is a different sort of beast but available within Draw and Writer. As you remark, Insert|Object doesn't work in Writer while the cursor is within a text box. If you use it in Draw to attempt to insert something in a text box, you get an independent object, not attached to the text box at all. I suspect this isn't what you want. Incidentally, it does seem possible to group (in Draw) a formula object with other things. Try putting a formula and a graphic onto the page, then use the cursor to drag a large selection box round both, for example. Both will be selected, and can be, for example, grouped together or aligned. (This won't work in Writer, however.) Hope this helps. If not, perhaps you could clarify what you're trying to achieve on the page - there may be a totally different approach.
