Vertically or horizontally? What did you try?

I guess \begin{centering}...\end{centering} doesn't work (it failed for me
with some other material). Have you tried with:

\center
\begin{tabular}
...

or:

\hspace*{\fill}
\begin{tabular}...\end{tabular}
\hspace*{\fill}

?

\centering is a switch, not an environment.

No! center is an environment, not a switch (in fact the
center-environment uses \centering internally):

\begin{center}
...
\end{center}

Oh, well, I wrote it the other way :-D

I tried centering but that didn't work. Only enclosing it in a \table
environment and then using the \centering switch worked.

the table environment sounds like the wrong way to go, since you don't
want the thing to float.

{\par\centering\begin{tabular}...
\end{tabular}\par}

should do what you're after; both \par tokens are necessary, in the
general case (the second one is always necessary).

or you could use the center environment, which provides \par for you.
