    Trying using <BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE> as many times as necessary to get it centered. i. e. <BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE>XXXX</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>

    <!--the Following will keep the text to left if no class is applied to tag <p>-->
    <p>Test Test Test <br />
    Test Test Test Test <br />
    Test Test Test</p>

    <!--The align="center" class to <p> tag will align the text center-->
    <p align="center">Test Test Test <br />
    Test Test Test Test <br />
    Test Test Test</p>

    This is just an example how the text is being aligned in html page.

    Adjust the width as necessary:

    <div style="width: 50%; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
blah blah blah blah<br />
blah blah blah blah blah<br />
blah blah blah blah
</div>

    Yeah use CSS. It's the best for positioning.

    Use this:
    <div align="left">Test Test Test <br>
    Test Test Test Test <br>
    Test Test Test </div>

    Always try IE and firefox simultaneously to test your html, coz. IE & FF sometimes gives surprisingly different results.

    Tables are one way to accomplish what you're after, although that method isn't preferred anymore -- you'd do alot better, using less code, by creating a CSS style sheet to control data on your site.
