How to center a Basic text element

Must be missing something obvious here … but how do i centre a basic Text element? If I add a container with Centre align and drop a Rich Text element into it, it respects the alignment. But if I drop a Basic text element into the same container then that does not respect any alignment. Is this how it is supposed to work or am i missing something? Thanks Alan
