add align="left" and valign="top" in your td tag and see what happens additionally your missing
the closing /td and /tr tags:

<table width="100%" height="79" border="1">
<tr><td align="left" valign="top" width="55%" height="75"><strong> Description</strong>: #fieldvarname#</td>
</tr>
</table>

Perhaps the easiest way (not necessarily the best way) is to remove the align attributes from the TD tag and place a Nested table in the cell. Otherwise you could try and use Div tags for each... something like

<table width="100%" height="79" border="1">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="55%" height="75">
<div style="height:50; text-align:right;"><strong> Description1</strong>: fieldvarname1</div>
<div"><strong> Description2</strong>: fieldvarname2</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
