MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Tab Stop in table cell
I have a table with 3 columns and 9 rows. The first and second columns contain text. The third column contains prices (ex: 99.99). I need the third column to have a decimal stop. Can I do this independently of the first 2 columns. If yes, how can I do this.  Signaturejj JJ, You can set a decimal tab in one cell, unfortunately not in a whole column, in PPT 2003 that is. What I always do is to insert a table of only one row, insert the tabs in the cells as appropriate, in your case only in the the cell of the third column. Then insert rows using right click and insert rows. The rows you insert should be an identical copy and contain all the tabs. Before you insert the extra rows be sure to adjust the hight of the row first. In PPT 2007 this has all changed and you can insert tabs pretty much like you do in Word. Select the column (hover above and click when you see the black arrow). On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group click the dialogstarterbutton, click on tabs button, insert a decimal tab, click OK. That's it. Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint >I have a table with 3 columns and 9 rows. The first and second columns > contain text. The third column contains prices (ex: 99.99).

When I return to the table, it still shows a left tab stop. Also, will the decimal table stop insert decimals automatically?

JJ, In the Set tabs dialog did you choose the decimal tab radio button, apply the position then click on Set tabs, and then OK? As Echo already explained you need to press Ctrl+tab to use the tab in the cell. All numbers will be aligned using the decimal sign, in Europe that will be the , in the US I presume the .

When you're in the Tab dialog, make sure you choose "decimal" before you set the tab stop position so that PPT knows what type of tab stop to add.

Generally speaking, you can set the decimal tab by clicking the tab type to the far left of the ruler. Then use Ctrl+Tab to add a tab stop in a table cell.
