Use a <div>to format your text</div>. It stinks, but CSS isn't as mature
as we'd like it to be yet. That's not even getting into the browser
support issue, which is the basis for a good 50% of the questions in
some lists.

| But what do I put in the tag?
|   Table { text-align: center; } has been suggested.  The problem is
that
| centers all the text in the table.  I have a table with left aligned
| text.  I want the text to be left aligned, but the table to be
| centered.  What I'm wanting to do is put a page layout in a fixed
width
| table and then center it so that in higher resolutions it's centered
rather
| than strung out across the page or stuck on the left.  Make sense?
Maybe
| there's another way to do this?
