Default Can Word centre tabs on a colon ":" instead of a decimal point?

Times will align on the colon using a decimal tab.

If you always have exactly two digits after the colon, you can simply
use a right tab.

(You can choose the character to align on with the "decimal" tab in
FrameMaker. Maybe someday Word will be able to do that.)

Hi there
I need to align numbers based upon a colon ":" in the same way you would
use
a decimal point. For example:

15:16
100:56

I was trying to use Tabs but can't think how to do it... anyone got any
ideas?
Thank you.
