para was an additional paragrapher and I'm not certain if it supports the same 
tags as Paragraph. My reading of the code seems to suggest that you should 
create the para object and then set its alignment to TA_CENTER, pass the 
alignment in as part of the style alignment="left'/"center" etc or use the above 
notation. However, it doesn't seem to work as advertised. I'll take a look later.
