I have a document with a text box where the caret - whenever I hit return - goes to the center of the next line. But I don't remember how to do this in a new text box where the text is aligned to the left by default. 'Edit Frame Attributes' doesn't have any options for this and I can't find it in any of the text formatting windows either.

In the Text menu, change the justification to ‘Center’.

Thanks! I didn't look that far down in the menu. :)
