I had the same question at one stage. I had a look in my manual (pg84) and states as follows;

Centreweighted is only used in manual mode (M)
Partial is used in Av, Tv and M when using AE Lock
Evaluative is used the remainder of the time

I too thought it unusual that it couldn't be selected manually in any mode but so be it.

Hope this helps

I guess they could have but the 300D's been built to a price. I guess you get that level of control by spending more $$$ on a 10D or higher.
