How To Align Decimals In A PP 2007 Table

[WSR]

I have financial data with one decimal point where I want to align to the
decimal point in a PowerPoint table.

How do I select the full column and align to the decimals?

Thanks!

You can't. I've asked for this feature ever since about PowerPoint 2000, but
it's still not there. Frustrating.

You have to do this individually in each cell. Basically, choose the decimal
tab option to the left of the ruler, then add a tab (Ctrl+Tab) before the
text in each cell as necessary.

First insert a control +tab before each figure in the column where you want
to insert a tab. Select the column, then on the Home tab click to launch the
paragraph dialog box. At the bottom left you will see Tabs, click on this and
you can then set the type of tab you wish at whatever point. It works similar
to Word.
