Unfortunately, the tab settings in styles work from the left indent, not the
column width. You could set up different styles (all based on one) with
different tab settings for the different columns.

I work a lot with stats that are shown in table format and would like all
the numbers to right align (like a decimal tab). That I can do on a
cell-by-cell basis. However, I want them to right align in the CENTRE of
each column. I cannot format each column in each table to be the same width
because the descriptive column labels vary greatly column to column and
table to table.

Is there anyway to format a style so that the numbers are right aligned
AND the whole colunm of numbers is centred (not the numbers being centred as
then the last units (ones) do not line up)?

e.g., approximation of desired outcome:

| 7 | 29 |
| 42 | 7256 |
| 116 | 8 |


Hopefully this makes sense!

thx a mint for your help (=
