Please consider using normal spelling with mixed case as well as a real
From line in your message, if you want to be taken seriously.
Please include a URL of a specific page, if you wish to get help with a
specific page or specific problem. To begin with, there are about 42
different ways to put images and descriptions (or captions) in a table.
Generally, solutions depend on problems, and we don't really know the
problem.

Really? I didn't expect that. Sounds you have used the 43rd way.

In general, with no regard to any specific existing design and
implementation (since they were not specified), you could put an image and
the associated text (caption) in a single-cell table, and use align="left"
in the <table> tags. This is the pure HTML approach, which isn't really
modern and stylish, but it might work sufficiently well. It should also
work for cases where the text is on the right of the image, which might be
what you're after, though not common, and perhaps not a good idea; it's
more normal to put a caption below an image, or sometimes above it.
