The meta tag was a left-over from various stabs at resolving the
problem that sired the inclusion of the width property. The orignal
problem was that the text-align attribute is not applied. The Crystal
html does specify the style in the <td>..</td> and all other style
attributes are applied, but the text-align has no effect. Any ideas
about this is appreciated.
