Here's an example out of my "Sherlock Holmes Omnibus" which I'm using to display a newspaper advertisement in a centred table:
Code:
<DIV align=center>
<TABLE border=1>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD width="80%" align=center>HOWARD GARRIDEB
<BR id=KeepBr>Constructor of Agricultural Machinery
<BR id=KeepBr>Binders, reapers' steam and hand plows, drills, harrows,
<BR id=KeepBr>farmers' carts, buckboards, and all other appliances.
<BR id=KeepBr>Estimates for Artesian Wells.
<BR id=KeepBr>Apply Grosvenor Buildings, Aston.
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
In this case, the text within the table is centred, but change the "<TD width="80%" align=center>" to "<TD width="80%" align=left">" and you have what you want.
