[WEB4LIB] Help, please! IE oddity

[Dan Lester]

The problem is that some cells, the "good ones" that are the way you want
them, use:  td align="center"   and the "bad ones" use align="center"
in reference to the text block.

The former center within the cell, the latter just center the text
around itself, but the cell is still set to left justify, which it
does with the block in question.  Change the centering in cell
properties and it should be fine.
