Macro for aligning on plus/minus?
I know you can align text on a decimal, but I need to align columns in a
table on a plus/minus symbol (I actually use an underlined plus because I have found that the sysmbol doesn't always transfer to a different computer). I have columns of text in which each cell looks something like this: 42.5 + 12.4 (with the plus underlined). I can't use a monospaced font, so even aligning on the first decimal or just centering the text will throw off the alignment of the plus/minus (eg, 11.1 + 81.1 versus 88.8 + 88.1 does not line up on the plus/minus). Is it possible to get around this or to create a macro to do this? |

I forgot to mention that I usually have supercript letters attached to the
end of the numbers which really throws off the alignment. For example: 42.3 + 12.4ab, where the ab are superscript. |

Macro for aligning on plus/minus?
Set a right-tab closely followed by a centre tab and a let tab. Then use
tabs instead of spaces. "Sinvicta" wrote in message ...
