Nope! Not better, the Writer UI is limited to Direct Formatting for the Text
Box and Shape Text Frames in Writer. With only limited styling when a Text Box
is added to the Draw shape and taking 'Frame Contents' styling for the
inscribed frame.

In Draw on the other hand--adding additional styles beyond the single font/size
'Default Drawing Style' is more efficient than applying direct formatting to
multiple Draw objects.  

As you note repetitively applying Direct Formatting to draw object text is not
supported--that is for a given Draw objects text, the objects context menu
Character dialog provides the Direct Formatting, no Toolbar listboxes for
applying the DF. And the context menu selections (e.g. Character...) are only
applicable to that object.

The Draw object styles mechanism are simply more efficient work flows, offering
ability to define hundreds of drawing styles to template for reuse--and
applicable not just to lettering.
