Ask FileMaker: How do I center an Object in a Layout? How do you align an object to the center of the page?

Answer: Lock an object exactly in the middle of the page, which will prevent it from moving along with other objects.  Possible answer: “you’ve wished you could put the thing in the middle of the window.

Unfortunately, since you don’t know how big the window will be, you can’t.  It isn’t entirely obvious at first, but with autoresize in FileMaker 9, you can.

If you turn off all the anchors, FileMaker splits the difference as a window resizes.

If it gets 100 pixels wider, the object moves 50 pixels, so that half the new space is on one side, and half is on the other. 

So an object that is centered on the layout in layout mode, and has no anchors, will be centered on any size window”.
