You can define environments in LaTeX which do exactly the same thing
as in your text formatter:

 \newenvironment{bold}{\begingroup\bfseries}{\endgroup}

 \begin{bold} bla bla bla \end{bold}

But bold, italic, centering, flushleft, flushright etc are all
already available:

 \textbf{.....}  or {\bfseries ......}

 \begin{center} ... \end{center}

 \begin{flushleft} ... \end{flushleft}

...


Anyway, you need to have a thorough reading of the tutorials at:
