Correct. One way to help the problem is to use a fixed pitch font, like
Courier. Assuming that you're talking about prices, and you want the
columns to line up at the decimal point, the better way is to use a decimal
tab.
In Word 7, you can make a decimal tab by hitting the button at the left end
of the ruler until the "inverted T" with a decimal comes up. Then place a
tab where you want the decimals to align. To use it, just tab and type
your number in. The decimal will align on the tab.
