Yep - standard HTML (deprecated but valid under HTML4 Transitional).  Set
the ALIGN and VALIGN attributes of the parent cell.

    TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" (for top left corner)
    TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" (for top right corner)
    TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="bottom" (for bottom right corner)
    TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="bottom" (for bottom left corner)

And so on.  TD alignment defaults to left (horizontal) and middle (vertical)
unless specified otherwise in the TR.  So in most cases you could (for
left-aligned) leave out the ALIGN attribute.
