  so, what can one use to replace align="center" with <div>.  The notes that I see say to use styles instead, but so far have offered no examples.

  it may be a simple technique, but I haven't found one yet.  let's say I want to replace this with <div>

  <body>
  <table align="center">
    <tr><td>some text</td></tr>
  </table>

  what would it look like?

  thanks,
  steve
