Default decimal point

Hi Terry

There are seven types of Tab settings that you can include in the ruler:
Left Tab, Center Tab, Right Tab, Decimal Tab, , Bar Tab, First line Indent
and Hanging Indent

1.Under the View menu, click Ruler
The ruler is displayed on the top of the document page. Unless you have the
ruler displayed you will not be able to position any tabs on the ruler.

Do one of the following:
€¢ Click the decimal tab.on the left corner of the ruler, if you are working
in the Normal View.
-or-
€¢ If you are working in Print Layout View, then click the tab on the top of
the Left ruler.

2. Click the decimal tab,
Keep clicking the tab, until you view the decimal tab.
3. Select the text.
4. Click on the Ruler
The decimal tab is positioned on the ruler.

Note: Now when you enter number the number is moves left. The moment you
press the decimal point on the keyboard, the other number moves right. This
is an indication that the tab has a decimal tab constrain.
