Like this.  It will work for IE and Netscape.  At least, it did when I

<table width=100% height=100%><tr><td valign=center align=center>

         <table width=200 height=200 border=1><tr><td valign=center 
align=center>
                 This is a test<br>
         </td></tr></table>

</td></tr></table>
