Steps: 1) Open Writer 2) Insert a shape 3) Notice that the alignment group button in the Drawing Object Properties dialog is disabled 4) Only when you change the anchor to 'As Character' does the button enable, but only the vertical alignment buttons are enabled The UNO commands .uno:ObjectAlignLeft, .uno:AlignCenter, and .uno:ObjectAlignRight need to be modified to get them to work with shapes, like they do with images, charts, and frames.

If a shape is considered as a character, how can it be aligned horizontally? Do you want it to move to a different anchor point inside the text? > The UNO commands .uno:ObjectAlignLeft, .uno:AlignCenter, and > .uno:ObjectAlignRight need to be modified to get them to work with shapes, > like they do with images, charts, and frames. They do not work for me for images, charts, and frames (but they do work for shapes if you select two shapes).

Was just stating when the group button was enabled, but anchored as a character you couldnt align it horizontally. > They do not work for me for images, charts, and frames (but they do work for > shapes if you select two shapes). Sorry my bad. The horizontal alignment UNO commands for images, charts and frames is different (.uno:AlignLeft, .uno:AlignHorizontalCenter, .uno:AlignRight). So shape alignment UNO commands work in Draw/Impress.
