HTML coding

In HTML when using excel type boxes for separating data by columns, how do you center the data within each box? I thought <align=center> </align> would work???

By "excel-type boxes," do you mean tables?
If you mean tables, specify alignment in the cell's <td> tag, as follows:

HTML Code:

<td align="center">CONTENT HERE</td>

Although if you're making anything substantial, I'd recommend CSS.

I am using <TD> as the table line breaks to separate the boxes. When I add the suggested <td align="center"></TD> function, it moves the box data one box to the right replacing whats in that box?

Never mind, it seems like you're not using <TD> for your actual content, just the line breaks. What actually contains your data, what *are* the "excel-type boxes?"

Could you include all of your code? I can't really visualize what you're trying to tell me here. ^_^
