> @Regina, anything to add on wraping around an OLE formula?

Yes. We have two contrary use cases for Math formula, (A) a small formula
inline and (B) a formula in own paragraph. Dave apparently needs case (B).

The default is case (A). That means, that the frame style "Formula" is
automatically used, when a Math formula is inserted. This style has the anchor
type "as character" and that anchor type cannot be changed in the style. This
style has a padding, where zero padding should be, see bug 65067.

For use case (B) you need to change the anchor type individually for the
formula, or you need to define an own frame style derived from "Frame". That
one has the anchor type "to paragraph". In such a new own frame style you can
set the desired padding. You will need to apply that style after the formula is
inserted.

We might consider adding an option to select the preferred anchor type for
formula, which would reduce the cases, where the user has to set the anchor
type individually for each formula. Similar was done for inserting images.

There exists a third option: inserting a formula into a layout table. That is
done by the autotext FN. I personally do not like it, because it is not
possible to move paragraphs up and down with arrow keys across a table.

In case you need a formula in own paragraph often, defining an own autotext for
that might be a fourth option.
