To add to Rae's answer: you need to set the first page as a separate section
and then chose For this Section Only when using the centring option in Page
Setup, - otherwise every page in the document will be centred.

I want to find out if there is a way to select text and then place it in
the
center of the page, as when creating a cover sheet.
