arrrrgggghhhhhh! If it were any more obvious I'd be a candidate for ... well
... something unpleasant! Jeez, I can't even make up an excuse that'd
excuse this one!
Thanks guys; LAYS (Look at Your Screen!) should be a new acronym in my case.
Thanks for opening my eyes!

Hi,
I'm in the process of changing some Word templates to Writer
templates and I've hit a snag.
How do you set a "decimal tab stop"?
That's one where, when digits are entered, they align to the left or
right of the decimal point.
A decimal tab stop is one where in a column of numbers, the decimal
points will all align one under the other. e.g. digits after the
fixed position (column wise) decimal point fill in to the right, and
digits to the right of the decimal point fill in toward the left. Output
would look like (with a mono-space font):
$ 0.254
$300.79
$5.5657
$15.969
and so on, all the decimals and cents aligned so they start in the
same character column, one over the other. The 3 and 4 digits
resolution after the decimal is used in the "fine-detail"
descriptions of very large numbers of objects and is not a typo.
I found a "decimal tab stops" entry in OO.o's Help, but the
information seems to have nothing whatever to do with a decimal tab
stop. In fact, it's apparently the "General Settings" information and
only briefly mentions tab stops.
I feel like I've done it before in OO.o, but darned if I can figure
out how now!
Thanks much in advance for any relevant information/comments you may
have,
Twayne
