How do I align table cells with positive & (negative) bracketed #'
I work in an accounting department and we have many numbers in Word Tables.
How do I align the numbers that are bracketed and non-bracketed? EX: 1234 versus 1234 (1234) (1234) thanks so much! |

How do I align table cells with positive & (negative) bracketed #'
When you set a decimal tab stop, numbers will be aligned on the first
nonnumeric character (aside from the thousands separator). In tables, setting the stop suffices; it is not necessary to enter a tab character. You can set the tab through the Tabs dialog or (more easily and accurately) using the Decimal Tab set on the ruler (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm). -- Suzanne S.

How do I align table cells with positive & (negative) brackete
Thank you so much, the part that was extremely helpful was: while being in
the table cell, pressing the ALT key and sliding the right indent on the ruler toolbar. "Suzanne S.
