Is there anyway to align text vert ically in tables on a symbol. I have
data that I am entering in a table. The data is means +/- SD. I want the
text to be aligned on the +/- symbol. I can do this by fomrating multiple
tabs on each line but I was hoping that there may be some feature akin to a
decimal tab that would take the pain out of this.

Unfortunately, Word (unlike WordPerfect) doesn't allow you to specify the
character on which decimal tabs will align. So I guess you're stuck with
multiple tab stops. Sorry.
