Default Can you half space in Word.

Use a decimal tab to line up the decimal points.

So the colons, $, comma and decimal points line up vertically. With a
typewriter you could half space a make the "columns" line up
correctly. I was wondering if this could be done in Word without
have to set up tables.

Or if you are talking about vertical half-spacing, you can set
paragraphs to have 1.5 line spacing, or you can raise or lower text
using the settings on the Character Spacing tab of Format | Font.

You can use one of several narrow spaces available in some fonts.
Or you can use Condensed font formatting for the space.
