Post title: align left-center subtitles

Hello, here's the question:

i made an EBU stl subtitle file with Subtitle Edit and i need to justify with left alignment the dialogue subtitles, but this software can't do it.
So i downloaded Subtitle Next demo, imported the file, left-aligned the dialogues and then exported again in ebu stl, either open or teletext, but when i open it with Next the dialogues are still centered.

Subtitle Next has the default option in the style menu that automatically left-align the subtitles begging with "-"
So when i open the subtitles made with next, i see the dialogues left-aligned but it's only cause there is that option turned on, in fact when i deselect it the dialogues return centered.

The question is how can i save that ebu stl file with left-centered dialogues and how can i be sure that are aligned when i open them with next

thanks hope you understood
