First to center a table on a page the table tag should look like this...

<table align="center" .....>

Secondly, to get a 6" wide column (table) you do have to start by using
pixels as Thomas suggested like this...

<table align="center" width="600px" ...>

But you have to print to test to see how many 'inches' that number of pixels
will produce when the page is printed. You have to adjust the value of the
width attribute and print again and again until you have found the magic
number to optimize the width measured in inches when you print noting this
will work for all printers with a minimal margin of error.

Another option may be to use Microsoft Publisher to create a layout that I
recall may be defined in inches as Publisher is optimized for the design of
print layout. When you get what you want using Publisher save the results to
HTML and reuse those results on your web with new content as needed.

Neither methodology is ideal, neither are perfect, but that's the only way
to get as close as possible to print layout and the use of units such as
'inches' that require work-around hacks when deployed on a website.
