--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting.

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?
