Q.
How to do Outlined text?
A. Check
into the options in the Object Inspector... you can confine a stroke to
just the outside or inside of the fill, over the fill always overlay the
stroke, etc. This can really help with various fancy text styles.
(btw, please *do* save your work as a style...
lets you easily reuse it in subsequent projects!)

Q.
How do I create Metallic Text Graphics?
A. One of
the ways people give things metallic appearance is to have it appear to
reflect something. A good starting point might be a "Satin" gradient fill,
set to to black/white... adjusting the Paintbucket handles on the fill
can give you a wide range of looks. A slight beveling, perhaps a dropshadow...
that's one way to get this type of effect.

Q.
I'm going crazy trying to find out how to align my text in an image.
I have an image that is 460X50 and I want the text to be *exactly* centered
vertically and horizontally in the center of the image. The text align
attributes only apply to within the text box and the Modify > Align submenu
options are greyed out. They become active if I select the text object
and another object in the image but that is not what I want (this only
aligns the two in relation to each other).
A. -
make the text frame the same size as the image and then center the text
in that frame (V and H)...
