Thanks!  That worked wonderfully.  I'd not even thought of using <p>.  8-(

Hmm.  It's not listed in the HTML3 spec (at least, not in the one that
I mentioned above).  The only alignment options listed for <img>s are
"top", "middle", and "bottom" (which are vertical alignment), and
"left" and "right" (for horizontal alignment.)  Though the other
horizontal alignment options were there, "center" was missing.
