Default Lining Up Dollar Amounts

Thank you, jds. I'll experiment with this one, too!

I've found that in a table, or a specified column, if you left align the
column, clear all tabs, and then set a decimal tab, you do not have to use
the tab key, the numbers will line up at the decimal tab. I normall insert
my dollar signs in a separate column so they all line up.

I have set up a Word table that includes cells where the user will be
entering dollar amounts in a column. How can I format the cells so that the
dollar amounts line up with the decimal point? In other words, can Word
cells be formatted so that numbers automatically are entered from right to
left (similar to Excel)? Thanks much! -MP
