It used to be that when a table was inserted it was positioned at the current tab, but now in 2.10.1 the table always is at the left edge of the page.
How to fix that?

Use CSS styles to position and size your tables and cells.

I'm not sure yet if Brooke means a) on the resultant web page, or b) in the Composer source code window. I think we should try to determine that before delving into CSS -- especially if Brooke is not familiar with it.

Apparently Composer has had some modifications added to it's developing of web page content that the rest of us are unaware of, changing the way a table displays by default may be one. This will not be the first time a developer has made changes without notification.
Changing the way tables and related content display by default should be IAW the W3C web standards.
If a table now displays (by default) on the left side of the page then this could be changed using CSS positioning elements.
If Composer displays the table in the left side of his screen then it will appear in the left side of the screen when viewed from the server.
Composer used to have the option of using HTML coding, or embedded CSS Styles into the HTML elements.
Perhaps she could look at her Preferences for Composer and see how composition is set?

W3C hasn't change how raw tables display since tables were invented.

Of course. table { margin-left: auto; margin-right-auto; } for example.

You're also assuming Brooke (he/she) is talking about the display in the resultant web page, in the browser. We still don't know if the reference is to the web page, or in the Composer composition source code.
I still think we should confirm which is correct before recommending some CSS to add.
Tables in a web page by default display at the left margin of their containers. It's always been that way.

Brooke,
You are very welcome. Now you should be able to create web page documents very much like in the old days of Netscape Composer.
If you would like to try something similar to composer, but updated to recent web standards you might like to try, Kompozer, patterned after the Netscape version, but heavily updated. Konpozer: http://www.kompozer.net/

Last stable KompoZer version was released 2007-08-30, so I don't think
it is up to date with web standards.
Last stable BlueGriffon version based on Gecko, was released 2012-05-25,
and supports HTML5.
