Use a decimal tab stop; it will align on the first non-numeric character
(other than the thousands separator) in a text string.

I am typing an itinerary and want to align on a colon (for time, such at
10:00am, 2:00pm etc). I Word Perfect there is a way to change the align
character and align on it, but I can't find it in Word.
