I am using Word 2003. How can I set the alignment of numbers in a Word table?

For example, I want the numbers to line up on the decimal point and show
negative numbers in parentheses. i.e. The following should line up correctly
on the decimal point:

12.50
(653.87)
18.567

Thanks much in advance.
 
You need a decimal-aligned tab stop. For more, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm Note that a tab
character is not required for decimal tab stops in tables.
