Centering decimal tabs in table columns

T

TommyP

I use the decimal tab in table columns to align numeric information about the decimal point. However a decimal tab has to be placed manually with the mouse on the ruler. Is there a way to centre a decimal tab in a column. (i.e. not just clicking where I think is closest to the centre.)

Thanks for sharing your expertise, Tom

Usually you don't really want to center the tab stop itself but the text
that will be aligned with the tab stop. I usually do this by centering the
column text, inserting a decimal tab stop where the decimal point falls in
most of the centered text, then changing the text alignment to Left.
