The cell contains nothing but a checkbox. It is rather wide because of text in the table header row. How do I center the checkbox (with inline CSS in my HTML? (I know))
I tried
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="myTextEditBox" value="checked"
style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">
</td>
but that didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Update: here's a test page. Can someone please correct it - with CSS inline in the HTML - so that the checkboxes are centered in their columns?

</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="query_myTextEditBox" style="text-align:center; vertical-align: middle;">
</td>
<td>
myTextEditBox
</td>
<td>
<select size ="1" name="myTextEditBox_compare_operator">
<option value="=">equals</option>
<option value="<>">does not equal</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="myTextEditBox_compare_value">
</td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="report_myTextEditBox" value="checked" style="text-align:center; vertical-align: middle;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I have accepted @Hristo's answer - and here it is with inline formatting ...
<table style="empty-cells:hide;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<th>Search?</th><th>Field</th><th colspan="2">Search criteria</th><th>Include in report?<br></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">
<input type="checkbox" name="query_myTextEditBox">
</td>
<td>
myTextEditBox
</td>
<td>
<select size ="1" name="myTextEditBox_compare_operator">
<option value="=">equals</option>
<option value="<>">does not equal</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="myTextEditBox_compare_value">
</td>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">
<input type="checkbox" name="report_myTextEditBox" value="checked">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
