to make a document (assuming word document here) more professional, you could convert it adobe reader format using a programme like Primo PDF (a print emulator), then upload the adobe icon and allow them to download the PDF instead.

esimplest route would be to put the whole image inside a div that is center using the following code:

<div align="center">
image here
</div>

or make a div and define it in your css as being centered

embed your img tag inside a div set to align its content in the center. Take a look a CSS for presentation as well.

eg,
<div style="text-align: center;"><img.../></div>
