Hi

I would like table data to be aligned to the center. I know that I can keep typing:

<td align="center">

for every table cell, but thought there must be an easier way than this. I've tried styles using this:

td {align: center;}

and

td {text-align: center;}

but neither have worked, any help would be most appreciated!

<td width="33%">
<p align="center">WHATEVER</p>
</td>
