It was recommended I try...

<table align="center">
...
</table>

...but I couldn't get it to work. But googling the tag got me a neat
page with script that did the job...

Center a table with CSS
http://www.granneman.com/webdev/coding/css/centertables/


div.container {width:98%; margin:1%;}
table.center {text-align:center; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;
width:970px; padding:10px}
tr,td {text-align:left;}




And for the multiple column tables what worked best for me was from...

Source Ordered Columns
http://www.positioniseverything.net/ordered-floats.html


<div class="rigid">

<h2>Header</h2>

<div class="float-wrapper-rigid">

<div class="first-float-rigid">
<p>One One One One One One One One One</p>
</div>

<div class="second-float-rigid">
<p>Two Two Two Two Two Two</p>
</div>

</div>

<div class="third-float-rigid">
<p>Three Three Three Three Three</p>
</div>

<p class="clearfooter>Clearing Footer</p>

</div>


The CSS:

.rigid {width: 600px; margin: 0 auto;}

.float-wrapper-rigid {float: left; width: 450px;}
/*** This can be floated left or right ***/

.first-float-rigid {float: right; width: 300px;}
/*** This must be floated opposite
to .second-float ***/

.second-float-rigid {float: left; width: 150px;}
/*** This must be floated opposite
to .first-float ***/

.third-float-rigid {float: right; width: 150px;}
/*** This must be floated opposite
to .float-wrap ***/

.clearfooter {clear: both;}

p {padding: 10px;}
