Draw Direct Shape Text Paragraph

Paragraph formatting can be applied by getting the shape text cursor and using the append(), append_para() or any method that supports setting styles. This is similar behavior to Writer Direct Paragraph Text. See Writer Format Direct Paragraph for more information.

Alignment for a paragraph should be set using Draw Direct Shape Text Paragraph Alignment.
