The description refer to the position of the alignment mark
relative to the text itself. They are not meant as alignment
relative to the box or other objects. You have to move the 
Text after you have changed the alignment to middle-middle.
See the step-by step recipe I gave yesterday.

Here it is again, for your convenience:
1) select the text: 
     click on the symbol --> The whole symbol gets highlighted
     then click on the text --> only the text is highlighted

2) type [ex] --> edit-text-properties dialog appears
   click on the chooser right of "Alignment"
   choose "Middle Left"
   click "ok"

3) type [m] --> the text is attached to the mouse cursor 
   move the mouse so that the text is at the desired position
   left mouse click --> the text detaches from the mouse cursor
