Centering text near a image in a table

[Ram�n Flores d'as Seixas]

Hello:

        In order to make some slides I want to put a image into a cell of
a table, and to put some text in the next cell. And I want that the text
appears vertically centered. But if I do this, the text appears on the bottom.
Something like this:

 __________ ___________________
|          |                   |
|  """""   |                   |
|  ^   ^   |                   |
|  o   o   |                   |
|    6     |                   |
|  (===)   |                   |
|          | I don't like this |
|__________|___________________|



But what I'd like to obtain is:

__________ ___________________
|          |                   |
|  """""   |                   |
|  ^   ^   |  I would like     |
|  o   o   |                   |
|    6     |   in this way     |
|  (===)   |                   |
|          |                   |

Thanks
