First, get the latest 1.1.3. It has lots of fixes and enhancements to
text handling, including importing styles and page templates from other
docs.

Two, this version has a separate story editor, which will greatly ease
the type of text formatting. Within the story editor, you can create and
apply paragraph styles.

So for example, in your case, you would create a text style called
center with the font and alignment options you want. Then it is simply
choosing is the story editor, which paragraphs to apply this. 

To open the story editor, choose a text frame > Right click > Edit
Text..
