I'll be you set up the centered text wtih "string<return>string<return>"
This makes each string its own paragraph, and you get exactly what you
told it to do -- each paragraph is boxed.

For what you want to do, you need to use newlines instead of paragraphs
to break up the lines. Newline is <shift-return>.
