Right Align Decimals In Word For Mac

  1. Decimal - Centers text over decimal point for a list of numbers. Bar - Runs a vertical line through a selected paragraph at the tab stop. When you set a custom tab, all the default tabs to the left of the custom tab are cleared - that is, when you press Tab, Word will ignore the default tabs and go to.
  2. 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.

When you enter some decimal numbers in a Microsoft Word table, the decimal points together with different length of numbers may look messy, and you can hardly tell which one of them is greater and which one is smaller at first glance. But if you can align the decimal points of numbers, all these problems will be solved.

1. First of all, select all the numbers you want to re-align.

2. Go to Home tab and click the small arrow at the bottom right corner of Paragraph section.

3. Hit Tabs… button at the bottom left corner of Indents and Spacing tab.

Right: With the Right tab, text will end at the tab and flow to the left. Center: The Center tab works similar to centering a line of text but instead of centering between margins, text is centered at the tab location. Decimal: The Decimal tab is used to align numbers and text with a period. This is useful for a group of numbers or a list of.

4. Enter 2 in Tab stop position and choose Decimal under Alignment. Then hit OK to implement all the settings.

Decimal Align Excel

Excel align decimals in column

5. Now the numbers in Word tables have been re-aligned with the decimal points. You can distinguish the amounts in the table much easier.

Currency and the number of decimal places
I have an application which has neen running for a number of years, firstly on Access2000 then XP and now on Access 2003.It uses many currency fields for invoicing , credit notes etc. Each field which is of currency type has the decimal property set to 2.Up until recently the ATB balanced fine but lately it has been a few cents out. The reason is that some amounts have been put in with 3 decimal places and some calculations (eg GST of 10% of $398.68 returning to the GST field a value of $39.868) returning 3 decimal places.I guess with the calculations, I can code to make sure only ...

Decimal number to percentage formula (newbie question)
I've got a column full of numbers like 0.5, 1.0, etc. I need them to looklike 0.500%. I figured out how to format the cells so that 0.5 looks like0.500, but when I change the cell format to percentage, it makes 0.500 into50.000%.So I figured out how to make a formula that divides 0.500 by 100(=R1C6/100), resulting in 0.005, which I can format to a percentage and get0.500%.Where I'm stumped is in applying that formula to the entire column. Insteadof =R1C6/100, I want my formula to say =all rowsC6/100. How do I tell it{allrows}?Thanks for putting up with a newbieKen Benson...
