Is there a way to get the ruler to display its measurements from left to
right, instead of from the center outward? If so, how?

No, but let us know the *problem* you're trying to solve this way.
Maybe there's another solution.

I was trying to get a precise measurement on the size of some of the items
(textboxes and autoshpes) in a slide.

Meantime, I have learned how to get the textboxes/autoshapes to show their
size. So, I now have a workaround.

You can't change the centred ruler. If you need to measure from zero the "All
about Guides" on this page will help
