How do I align on a colon?
Use a decimal tab stop; it will align on the first non-numeric character
(other than the thousands separator) in a text string. -- Suzanne S.

How do I align on a colon?
goto -- view -- show ruler -- click to the symbol that looks like a "L"
which call "left tab" continue to click this symbol until it says "decimal tab" it looks like an upside down "T" with a dot to the right of it. Then click on the ruler where you would like for the colon to line up in your document.

Click the "L" like symbol continually until it becomes a upside down "T" with a dot on its right, move the ruler to the position you like to place the colon. Click "Tab" at the left of the colon and the colon will move to that position. |

Use a right tab, which you can use anywhere - even before other tabs. Whatever you click to that right tab will line up with each other (providing the right tab is the same for every line). It works perfectly and easily. |

Actually this is extremely easy. Don't use the decimal tab - it doesn't always work the same with different apps. Use the RIGHT TAB. The right tab can be used before any other tab, just like other tabs can. Then the text you tab to the right tab lines up perfectly with every line for which you set the right tab at the very same point. EASY!!!!
