Howdy folks,
I found myself spending a not insignificant amount of time getting sizing just right whenever I would need to add a Center next display text in window action in a macro. So I built this macro that automatically calculates the size for whatever display text (or shell script results) window is on the screen and then insert the action already populated with those figures above the currently selected action.
More details, a screenshot and screen recording are below. As usual, feel free to share any comments or suggestions, or to let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

How this macro works (click to expand/collapse)
An AppleScript gets the current size for an Open Display Text In a Window (or Shell Script Results) window.
It then runs some calculations to determine it’s center position on the screen.
After, it sets the clipboard to the XML for a Center Next Display Text in Window action and pastes it in the macro.

TL;DR: I built it and it works for me. You can share/modify it how you want. But don't blame me if it doesn’t work for you
