The utility doesn't come from centering a graphic. It is to mark a page center.
The workflow is primarily for notices and brochures, where text can be aligned
vertically (or horizontally) to insure cutting the page will yield symmetry.

Again, depending on how the ruler is defined, it can either be relatively easy,
or difficult. I recall using the viewport previously with regions to track what
should be displayed when scrolling. Because the page and ruler can be
synchronized with displayed text (using the scrollbar location on a zoomed
page), it may be relatively easy either way. It gets much more complicated for
zoomed out pages with more than 1 in the viewport.

Marking actual page center was just a suggestion which would make it easier for
those of us who don't need the additional functionality afforded with Draw or
Impress. I had no idea what might be involved with adding this function.
Marking the center of the total page is what I was asking for. Not margins or
gutters, etc. Even if using non-bordered tables to format text in this way
(something I have done before), the center of the page will insure final
document symmetry.

Sounds like this may be a little too much to ask for at least at this time. I
totally understand the difficulty involved with producing quality software.

Thank you all.
