Your entire page (exclusive of the top 2 cell row) is in a single cell table
Your single cell alignment (center) is controlling all content (including the 3 tables at the bottom)
If you are going to stick w/ a 1 cell table for the page content
- Set your Outer table alignment to left or center
- Set the single cell (w/ your page content to left alignment) - not center as you have now
- Then you will be able to set you bottom table to center alignment
(sometimes you need to toggle the table to left or right alignment and then set center)
IMHO
break the page into several meaningful tables (or at least rows in the table)
PS
As pointed out by others don't set table / cell sizes that are meaningless
(smaller than you content is forcing)

| Suma summarum.
|
| Does it mean that my FP has problem?
| 1.
| All my nested tables are set to center using Table Properties.
| 2.
| In run time some of them are centered but some not.
| 3.
| In design stage all are centered.
| 4.
| None of the tables, when watching HTML code starts with this code:
| <div align="center">
| <center>
| 5.
| When adding that code to the tables which are not centered, corrects the
| problem.
|
| What will be the conclusion?
| BTW, I am using Windows XP, SP2.
| Thanks for your efforts,
| Jack
