Why would you provide a tab and aligned at if you are going to center the
column? I'm not debating this but am confused why it is done this way.

Thank you.

Firstly, centre the *paragraph* in the column. Secondly, and I can't
quiite
work out the precise behaviour, ...

Format Numbers (without the period) as Centered; Aligned at 1.27 cm (half
an
inch); Tab space after -1.27 cm (*minus* half an inch); Indent 0

Providing the column is more than an inch wide this seems to perfectly
centre the numbers.

I have a table with 3 columns. The last column is to have a consecutive
number in it. I click on the numbering in bullets/numbering toolbar
button
and it inserts the number slightly to the left with a period. I format
the
list number style to center the number without a period. I tell it no
tabs,
indents, and center..it doesn't center the number. I removed the center
from
the list style and center the column's cells but it still either puts
the
number slightly to the left or slightly to the right.

What is the best way of creating a simple number, centered, in a table
cell
other than typing it in manually.
