How to center a field appearing in a Visualforce datatable column

I am attempting to center the contents of an outputfield which I am placing into a datatable's column. I can't find an attribute for the datatable which can do this. The closest I can find is an attribute which will center the datatable itself, but I don't want that. 

Here is an example of the code : 
  
<apex:dataTable value="{!Vendor_Product_Review__c}" var="pitem" border="4"  align="left" cellpadding="10" rowClasses="rowWithBorder"> 
                          
                            
                      <apex:column headerValue="" >
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Credit   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Liquidity   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Transaction   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Foreign Exchange   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Interest Rate   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Reputation   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Operational   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Price   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Compliance   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Strategic   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Financial  </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputLabel >Other   </apex:outputLabel><br></br>
                             </apex:column>
                         
                             <apex:column headerValue="Probability" >
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.CreditRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.LiquidityRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.TransactionRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.ForeignExchangeRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.InterestRateRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.ReputationRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.OperationalRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.PriceRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.ComplianceRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.StrategicRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.FinancialRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                                 <apex:outputfield value="{!pitem.OtherRiskProbability__c}"/><br></br>
                             </apex:column>

I would like the outputlabels to be centered within their column as well. 

Anybody got an idea on this ? 

Thank you.

Have you tried wrapping it around <div></div> tags. with the center attribute? ( 
<div align="center"> )

from memory I had issues with this and datatables in the past. 

If that doesn't work try adding a styleclass or style (i forget which one it is for apex:collumns ) with the font-align: center; attribute.

I hope you find the answer.

Use css in your page.
  
<style>
tbody{text-align:center}
</style>
