Table on page displays problem

Hello,

I searched the answers but found no resolved. My problem is that the text in the second cell is forced to be vertically below the image in the first cell, even when the vertical align is set to center.

This doesn’t make much sense to me since it works fine in a local html document, and fine when you view page on WP but problem on published page. Normally two neighboring cells have no effect on each other except to grow the height of the row.

Please help. Thanks!
