Default Tabs in tables

Word 2003
I'm having no luck aligning a column of numbers with decimal tabs. Can this be done? How?

Default Tabs in tables

Is this a tabbed column or a table column? If the latter, note that the cell
contents must be left-aligned, and a tab character is not required. For
more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm and/or

Oops, sorry--missed the subject line. But the advice is still good.
