how to align dollar signs in tables

When formatting numbers in cells in tables, I want the dollar sign to align
to the left margin of the cell. The numbers are aligned decimal at the right
margin of the cell.

Set a left aligned tab at the left of the cell and positing the decimal tab
where you want the decimal point to be aligned. Then when you enter the
cell type the $ and then use Ctrl+Tab and then type the number.

Another way is to create a new bullet that uses the $ sign and apply that to
the cells.
