--- Comment #19 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

Side-note on competitors:

OnlyOffice's word processor has, _as a default_, vertical and horizontal page
centre helplines that dragged objects can snap to (both object's centre and
edges). They only show when the object actually snaps to them - the same as MS
PowerPoint.

LibreOffice Writer has options like grid, snap to grid, and helplines while
moving, which are all turned off by default, and even if turned on they do not
offer the same functionality as OnlyOffice or PowerPoint.

I think what OnlyOffice and PowerPoint have would be very useful in both Writer
and Impress/Draw. But I guess that's what is already requested in bug 76070,
and differs from OP's request to have a ruler marker that's always visible.

(I also had a look at MS Office 365 Word online, but it currently feels so
broken (?) that I can't even move an object with the mouse.)

See also for Impress/Draw:
- bug 112624: snap line should default to centre of slide
- bug 112643: offer presets for snap line position

My take: New. It should be made easy to visualise the centre of the paper, to
snap objects as well as to locate oneself on the page when zoomed in.
The implementation would ideally be made consistent with Draw and Impress,
although I'd be OK with having it off by default in Writer. Using the snap
guides for that makes sense to me.
So is the way forward to add snap guides to Writer, and then request for centre
snap guides as in bug 112624?
