= SUMMARY =

When working with a Microsoft Works spreadsheet containing cells in Dollar and Fixed formats, the decimal points do not line up vertically. This is a limitation of Works.

The decimal points of the cells displayed in Dollar format will be farther left than the decimal points of the cells displayed in Fixed format. This misalignment occurs because the Dollar format allows space for the parentheses used for negative dollar values.
