Align numbers in a table by decimal point.
I have a Word (2003) table containing various numbers. Some have 2 or 3
decimal places, some are negative numbers with decimal places, some numbers are even in parentheses. I want to align the numbers by the decimal point so it will look neat and orderly. Can this be done? Thanks, SuzyQ |

Align numbers in a table by decimal point.
Remember one thing that Tabs inside a table can be used with CTRL+TAB key.

Align numbers in a table by decimal point.
But a tab character is not required for decimal tab stops in a table.
