You use a tab (usually right- or decimal-aligned) with a period leader. See

Did you read the article? When you set a tab stop where you want the 14.50
to be, all the intermediate tab stops are cleared. You need press Tab only
once.

Well, this is the first time you have mentioned that you are using Word
2007. Try Home | Paragraph | Dialog Box Launcher | Tabs.
