Hi James,

If the the actor name paragraphs were in a different paragraph Style than their words, it'd simply be a matter of changing the Style definitions.

What you can do, though, is to take a given actor's centred paragraph (eg BOB¶), copy it to the Windows clipboard, then use Find/Replace, where:
Find = BOB^p
Replace = ^c
and this will replace all existing BOB paragraphs with centred ones.
