How 2 keep columns of figs straight when typing invoices in word

[Dizzy Di]

When I type invoices in word I cant always keep the columns of figures
straight. At present I use the tab keys but when I have figs such as £46.00
and then £421.00 the figures go "wonky". There must be an easier way?

Set decimal tabs to align the figures by the decimal point.
