From Gyoudori
in the Paragraph panel or Control panel, specify the number of lines you want to center justify.

Set paragraph gyoudori
When you apply gyoudori to a paragraph of more than one line, choosing Paragraph Gyoudori allows the entire
paragraph to span the specified number of gyoudori lines, often 2 paragraph lines on 3 grid lines. If this option is not
selected, each line in the paragraph spans the specified number of gyoudori lines, such as 2 paragraph lines on 6 grid
lines.
1
Select the paragraph to which you want to apply paragraph gyoudori.
2
Choose Paragraph Gyoudori from the Paragraph panel menu or the Control panel menu.
3
Adjust the leading of the gyoudori paragraph to suit your layout needs.
When Paragraph Gyoudori is used to center the paragraph on a number of grid lines, the line spacing of each line is
governed by the leading amount, not by the grid aki. It may be necessary to adjust the leading of each line to space them
out if the default 100% auto leading amount for frame grid text is used.
Create paragraphs that span or split columns
You can make a paragraph span across multiple columns in a text frame to create a straddle head effect. You can choose
whether a paragraph spans all columns or a specified number of columns. When a paragraph is set to span across
columns in a multicolumn text frame, any text before the spanning paragraph becomes balanced as a result.
You can also split a paragraph into multiple columns within the same text frame.
