To mark the center is just half the rent and we should first of all think of a snap function. If we implement a feature it's preferably done across all modules, meaning the existing snap lines in Draw should be made available in Writer. Some enhancements are needed, for example the center of shapes/objects are not snappy yet. On the other hand, snap to grid exists in Writer and you could configure the grid so it has a snap position at the center. Being able to snap objects at prominent positions is clearly a convenience feature and not only relevant for objects like shapes but also for tables. But the object position is calculated in relation to page and paragraph in Writer. With the Position & Size dialog you have plenty of options for a precise positioning. Draw/Impress don't have this structure and due to the freely placement of objects snaplines are crucial there. If you are still interested in just marking the center, what workflow would be supported? And the center is not clear: does it include gutter, is it the center of the page or the text area (excluding margins, borders, spacing), and if so, are there many centers for columns or sections?
