I have two tables beside each other, one to the left which is the menu and one to the right which is the main body. i can align the text in the menu with no problem, but no matter what i do with the text in the main table, it wont move. The text is always to the left. if i use a 'center' tag, it makes the text centered, but off to the left. here's a screen capture so you can see what im talking about:

nowhere in my code is there an align="left" tag, so i dont know what the problem is.

I don't know if this is what you need but you can change the align (aligns your text To the right, left, and center in the columns),and valign (Starts your text at the top, middle, and bottom of the columns)

<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<center>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="10" bordercolor="#000000" width="700">
<tr>
<td width="700" height="248">
<img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/wowimfancy/ohlala.jpg" width="750" height="248"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td width="750" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="750">
<tr>
<td width="375" bgcolor="#00ccff" valign="top">

I tried using the align tags and it aligns the text, but pulls it to the left still. i figured out what the problem was though.... for some reason i had an extra table on the right in the main body part ... that was why the text wouldn't go to the other side of the table. my problem's fixed... but thank you for your help nonetheless!
