I know you say that the scripts probably only work with 1.3.5 but since I working with 1.3.3.13 I thought I would give the centering one a go and got some unexpected results. The results after running it on a small text frame containing a few lines of text was the text dissapeared. A large setting of 130 points was set to the top and bottom margins of the text frame so as to pinch the type out of view. I haven't tried it out in 1.3.5.
