how do you align figures in brackets in a table

In a table in word if you have figures and figures in brackets , right
aligned, the figures do not line up , you cannot type a space at the end if
the figure to move it to the left , can anyone help

This is what a decimal tab will do. Left-align the text and set the decimal
tab stop where you want figures to align. You don't have to insert a tab
character, and you don't have to have a decimal point; figures will align on
the first non-numeric character (aside from the thousands separator). For
more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm
