Thank you very much. When I set the tab, should I then just be able to hit
the tab key and then enter my numbers. Still having trouble getting the numbers to line up off the decimal. Still learning, guess I need to play with it more.

Use a right-aligned tab. See

Unless you apply the tab setting to a selected block of text or to the
paragraph style itself, the tab setting changes you make apply only to the current paragraph. Edit the paragraph style and the tab settings will follow your typing in that style. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org sw wrote: Howcome when I set the tab in format, then I enter my next entry the tab setting seems to not be set for the next line?
