There are approximately 25 rows and 4 to 5 columns in my table. The last two
columns of my table contain amounts. The amounts can range from 30 to
4,598,999. I can get the amounts to line up evenly by aligning them to the
left of the cell. And I can get the dollar sign and lines above the totals
to line up evenly on my computer screen. So everything is in neat columns.
But the minute I print the table to paper the lines above the totals print in
different lengths. They do not line up evenly. The numbers and dollar signs
are fine though. Hope this helps more.

Since you haven't really defined "evenly" or "lined up," it's hard to offer
further advice.

I have tried to do what you have said but for some reason I can't get these
lines to print right. No matter what I do I can't get the lines to print
evenly. I am not Word savvy so I am wondering if there is anything else
that
can be done.

The lines above totals? I usually use underlines, typing as many extra
spaces at the beginning as required to make the line as wide as the
total.
In a table, you can also apply a bottom border to the cell. If you want
to
get really fancy, you can apply a bottom border to the paragraph in the
cell
instead, using paragraph indents to make the border the right width.

No the dashes indicating no value are not the issue. The line or lines
in
question are the equals line or lines. It isn't easy to explain
because I
have no way of showing you.

By "lines" do you mean dashes indicating no value? If so, have you
tried
aligning the numbers on a decimal tab and separately centering the
dashes or
other nonnumeric entries?

I am creating financial statements in Word 2007 using tables.
I am able to create a table with 4 to 5 columns and numerous rows. In
the
last two columns I key numbers and dollar signs or lines. I am able
to

my numbers, lines and dollar signs to line up on my computer screen.
Once I
print the financial statement, I am able to get the numbers and
dollar
signs
to line up but not the lines. This is an ongoing problem that I am
hoping to
get cleared up soon. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any
suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
