Format your merge fields with decimal tabs.

i.e., on a right-aligned paragraph:

tabcharacter mergefield
You'll want to format your merge fields to all show decimals, I assume:

We are trying to create a table which has mutliple conditions set in (incl
suppression), but the end results we want to line up by the decimal
points.
For example:
$X,XXX.XX
$X,XXX
$XX,XXX
$XX,XXX.XX

Sometimes the merge fields will contain the cents, but most of the time it
will just be an even dollar amount, and no, we cannot put in $X,XXX.00.
The
client refuses. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
