I am still a bit confused as to what you have described. I have worked with HTML in the Myspace days, but that was a long time ago. Is there any tutorials that will show help me in the process?
If you download Sigil from my prior post, and open your ePub document with it, you can toggle the people and HTML view with F2. Sigil shows your individually selectable chapters (text) in the left column, and also a folder containing the book.css file that has all the CSS styling information utilized in the ebook formatting.
Tom's link to LIz Castro's epubsecrets site is worthwhile, in addition to Liz authoring an HTML/CSS hard-copy book and a downloadable ($) ePub how-to guide. If you want control over your document formatting, you will need to invest time and experiment for knowledge gain.
Safari and implicitly Google is your friend. Usually you can search for “HTML center text,” or “CSS text align,” to find help.
