Thank you all for the suggestions. I have done a tiny bit of experimenting.
The problem was mostly that, if I set "width" to a percentage, I could not keep the borders close to the text if the screen width changes, they floated way out to the sides.
Now I have tried setting the width at ems instead of percentage, and using <center> as suggested by Harry, and I think this is as close as I will get to my wishes. I just must make sure I specify enough ems to hold the width of the longest line.
Toxaris, that IS pretty nifty. And if I set the widths narrower, I can have two paragraphs side-by-side. I wish I had known about this before, I know just the project it would have helped.
mrmikel, I have given up trying to center tables. I mostly let them sit left-aligned on the page, and who doesn't like it doesn't have to look. Although I might try using <center> in future.
Thank you all again.
