Surely, with the usual CSS Caveats. However, as usual you need some "handle"
to the element, i.e. a selector that refers to the element(s) that should be
styled in a particular way and not to any other element. It depends on the
structure how easy this is. If you cannot change the markup, then it might a
fairly tough issue (grin).

It really depends on the markup.

A URL would paint a better picture, but if you wish to bold and center them
for emphasis, then <strong> is really adequate markup and there is little
reason to get rid of it. But if you wish to center such cells as well, then
you could dispense with the presentational align attribute as well as the
somewhat artificial markup and use just
<td><strong>...</strong></td>
for the cells to be emphasized, together with
td strong { display: block; text-align: center; }
in CSS

That's possible too, and usually the best approach if there is no natural
semantic markup you could use.

I suppose then that there is some mistake in your HTML, CSS, HTTP, or
somewhere else. :-)
