RoryOF's tip works for text in Writer pages.

For text in Draw objects:
Select the rectangle. Menu item Format - Text and select the text tab.

Select one of the middle anchoring positions (left, center or right, which anchoring is optimal depends to some degree on what horizontal alignment you select.)
Apache OO 4.1.16 and LibreOffice 25.8, mostly on Ms Windows 10 and 11.
