Good Tip!
Some Tips to extend your tut:
Check out ‘center axis’ in the structure menu. There you can position the axis very precisely.
Also check out the ‘reset PSR’ button hidden in the character menu. This resets the position, scale and rotation of an object accordingly to its parent. Super useful in combination with the center axis tool.

With text you could always choose a different alignment option like center even if its not editable , its in the object tab I think
