= 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.
