Default How do I control space before and after hyphen in Word?

Rather than using centered text, add a decimal tab stop to the
relevant table cells.

I am having difficulty with hyphens in the colun of a table. I am

using
hyphens between numbers. The hyphen seems to be closer to the

number on the
left than the number on the right. The column is center-aligned. I

have
enclosed an example. The hyphen between 15 and 6 below is

acceptable, the
others are not. The hyphen is closer to the 8 than the 1 in 12, 6

than the 1
in ten and 0 in 10 than the 1 in 15

15-6
8-12
6-10
10-15
