The right solution is to
1) Select by drag from the heading to the paragraph
and hit the F2 key (Esc on Unix platforms) to select the whole two elements.
2) Then select the entry menu XHTML>Division (Ctrl-h Ctlr-v)
3) Then either select the entry menu Attributes>style and insert "text-align: center"
or select the entry menu Style>Format, click the center align and Apply
Both dialogs will be closed by Done.

Just because headings and paragraphs cannot be children of a span element.
