I have columns of figures to put in a table. Some of the figures are in
parentheses and others are not. How can I align them so that the numbers
without parentheses don't align on the right or left underneath the
parenthesis in the number above it, as in the example below?
(99567)
24666
(19667)

Thanks so much for all of your help.

Use a decimal tab stop. See
