Problem:

The decimal-aligned tab does not align on the decimal when I do the following:


 * 1) In a word processor file, select Options Tabs.
 * 2) Create a decimal-aligned tab.
 * 3) Move to the tab mark.
 * 4) Type 5/12.00.

The tab lines up on the “/”, but not on the decimal. This is true for any symbol.

Response:

Decimal-aligned tabs align on the first character that is not a numeric digit or a comma.
