SYMPTOMS
========
 
Numbers will not automatically align with a decimal tab stop set in a table
cell.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
There are additional tab stops set in the table cell. Normally, Word
automatically aligns text to a decimal tab in a table cell without the use
of a tab character. However, if additional tab stops are applied to the
cell, the text will left justify.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
Insert a tab character (OPTION+TAB) before the text to align it with the
decimal tab stop.
