Not sure if there is a more proper way to do this, but you could center the text, and put many spaces between your name and phone number. Center the text, put the cursor in the middle, and keep hitting the space bar until you achieve result.
A better way is to create a two column, one row table with no borders. That way, if you want to change font size or anything, you won't have to mess about with putting in more/deleting spaces.
Create a table with one row, and 2 columns. Place your name in the 1st cell, and left-justify. Place your phone number in the 2nd cell and right justify. Select the table and make all lines white.
The advantage of this method is that you can now change the content or the formatting without losing the left/right justification. So, you can change the font, the text size, play with brackets in the phone number, and you it will stay properly aligned for you.
Naturally, you can add rows and columns if you have more content, and each cell can be individually formatted. Add a middle cell with centre alignment for a web-address, for example.

Hollerz beat me to it.... dang..... But it's still good advice.....

The "correct" way is to left-align the text for the left side & a right-aligned tab for the right hand side. Much cleaner & less steps than using a table & deleting the borders & more accurate than using spaces.
I definitely vote that PeggyD's way is better. It's less complicated and if you ever need to send your resume as a .doc file, simpler formatting will be better in the long run.
