Right Align Decimals In Word For Mac
Welcome to the Pages forum.
Pages does allow you to align numbers on the decimal. Here's an easy way to do it:
1. Select the cells of the table you want to format, so that they have a yellow border (hold down either the shift or option key to select multiple cells).
2. Open the Inspector (View > Show Inspector; or just click on the Inspector button on the tool bar)
3. Click on the Big T in the Inspector then choose 'Tabs'.
4. On the bottom lefthand corner of the Inspector pane, you will see a Plus and Minus sign. Click on the Plus sign to add a new Tab. Choose 'Decimal' for Alignment
5. Specify the distance in from the edge of the cell for the tab (either in the box in the Inspector or via the tab button on the document ruler), and you're done.
6. Now to tab the figures in in cells, place the cursor before the number and press the option+tab keys (Pressing just tab takes you to the next cell). All figures you tab across will now line up on the decimal, regardless of whther they are positive or negative, or how many decimal places you have.
As always, play around a bit with the feature to get an idea of what it can do for you.
Hope this is helpful.

Feb 04, 2009 Right aligned As with most things in Word, there are a couple of ways you can solve this problem — and the critical thing you need to know is that that what you want is called a ‘decimal tab’. The procedure for setting a decimal tab is very similar for both Word 2003 and 2007. Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop. Option 1: - Select the cells for which you want to do this. Display the ruler. Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
