How to turn on formatting marks in LibreOffice DRAW

There is no option to include formatting marks into any toolbars in LibreOffice DRAW (Not Writer) so where is it?!

AFAIK there are no formatting marks in Draw. Text boxes are drawing objects, there are no styles. You could paste Writer objects into Draw but it can be difficult to manage the appearance and the formatting marks are not visible unless the object is double clicked.

Consider doing the layout of pages in Writer and adding Draw objects into it, Writer does a reasonable job of layout.

Ah you are a godsend and a good trick too! I inserted several Writer objects into Draw and double-click on one of them and it shows formatting marks! I now understand that the text boxes created in Draw are drawing objects but I still find it is weird because any text is a text after all. Thank you. Chris.
