Decimal Point alignment
I am making a table in Word and I need to align numbers in a column so that
the decimal points line up. However, some of my numbers have parenthesis around them, and some of my numbers have * after them. My data looks like: 7.94** (139.63) 10.47* 18.18 (7.87) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! |

Decimal Point alignment
Insert a decimal tab stop into the cells in which the numbers will be used.
To inset a tab inside a table, use Ctrl+tab. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
