I am writing a quotation, say
15pcs Pencils @ 1.50 22.50
The 22.50 should be left bound and the "Enter" should me
bring to the start of the next line. I do not want to
create a table for such a simple task. Thank you.

Set a right- or decimal-aligned tab where you want the totals to be. See

Not sure what you mean by "left bound", but you probably want a decimal tab.
Anyhow, tabs often serve the same purposes as tables, so this article should
give you info you need.

You can simply type in 15pcs Pencils @ 1.50 then set
a "right tab" and type in your 22.50 and hit Enter and it
should bring you to the start of the next line. After that
you should be able to allign your amount to the right by
just hitting your tab key after you have typed your text.

I hope this helps.
