Try this,
Add a column called LAT and one called LONG to your table under
table>maintenance>table structure (set them to type of float). Update the
LAT column with Centroid(y), and the LONG column with centroid(x). Export a
copy of that table as delimited text. Open the text file, and create points
using LAT and LONG, and voila, you have a point layer of the centroids of
those polygons complete with the table of attributes.
