Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out how to align text within a table so the columns are aligned to a decimal point. In Adobe InDesign this can be done using Tabs, but I can't seem to access Tab Stops within a table in Publisher, only when using the Text Frame Tool.  Does anyone have an idea how I could accomplish what I'm trying to do? 

Thanks!

Thanks!  I figured out another way around it. Using a right justification the decimal point seems to line up perfectly even if the 2 numbers after the decimals are different numbers. Something I don't think Adobe does...

Even simpler:

Thanks so much for your help! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out with tabs. The only problem I ran into was if I wanted to adjust the tabs I would have to copy/paste the text from the table into a text frame, make the adjustments, then copy and paste the new tabbed text into the table.
