Lining Up Dollar Amounts
You could make the paragraph alignment Flush Right, and then your
decimal points will line up as long as every entry has a point and
some cents (you have to include ,00); if you always have a decimal
point but don't always have cents, you could set a Decimal Tab (but
then you'd have to type the tab and type the point even if there were
no cents, and that would look funny; if you're going to type .00 you
might as well use the first method and not have to type the tab).

I have set up a Word table that includes cells where the user will be
entering dollar amounts in a column. How can I format the cells so that the
dollar amounts line up with the decimal point? In other words, can Word
cells be formatted so that numbers automatically are entered from right to
left (similar to Excel)? Thanks much! -MP
