Thanks again. The decimal tab had been set for right-aligned text. I will
try this.

Use a decimal tab stop. The numbers will be aligned on the decimal point or
where one would be if there were one--in other words, on the first
nonnumeric character aside from the thousands separator. This allows letters
and punctuation marks to the right of numbers to "hang" out. In a table, a
tab character is not required; just set the tab stop in left-aligned text,
and it will snap to the decimal tab stop automatically. See

I have columns of numbers in a table that I need to align. However, some
of
these numbers have parentheses around them and I only want to align the
digits. Is this possible to do without having to manually space each
cell?
