1. Create an email template.
2. Create a table inside it and set the alignment as center.
3. Send the email to a candidate and preview it.
4. Notice that the alignment is not following what has been defined in the templete.

The HTML tag created by the table alignment is no longer supported in certain browser like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

HTML Table tag: <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px">

A workaround is required to align the table properly in the email. Please, follow the suggested steps:

1. In the email template, open the email.
2. Click on the Source button in the editor.
   
   
   
   
3. The HTML content of the email is be displayed.
4. Find the respective table tag you want to change. For example:
   
   <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px">
   
   Notice that the table configuration can be different from this example.
5. Replace the "align="center"" for the following tag:
   
   table style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center"
   
   Before:
   
   <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px">
   
   After:
   
   <table style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px">
6. Save the template.
