First of all: please upgrade to a recent Qt version. Qt 3.3 is seriously 
OLD, deprecated, unmainted, etc. Don't use it for new code, and 
seriously considder porting to Qt 4 for existing apps.

You can subclass your QTableItem and reimplement alignment(). You could 
add a setAlignment method that takes a Qt::AlignmentFlags. Let the base 
implementation handle alignment if it is Qt::AlignAuto (and make that 
the default), and use your set value otherwise. That should, if memory 
serves me well, get you what you want. If not, then you also need to do 
your painting yourself, wich can be done by reimplementing the paint() 
method. QTableItem has so many virtual methods for a reason: it is 
intended to be subclassed.
