Nick,

It doesn't matter - go ahead and let it select them all. You can still access the necessary alignment options on the Properties screen as I described (below).

To do that select the box, right click, select detailed properties, select the text item, then properties, and on the text tab chose the alignment you want. If there is more than one box involved, select all of them, right click, select all items (click on the first item, scroll to the last, and hold Shift while clicking on the last), select Properties and on the text tab chose the alignment you want.
