I am listing a number of options in a table and then I want the prices to be right-aligned in the cells at a certain position. How do I define such a tab stop?
Add a decimal tab stop to the cell.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm. You can still use the ruler to set tab stops in a table, but you need to use Ctrl+Tab to go to them. If you set a decimal tab stop in a cell, the numbers will align at it automatically, but if you have other text in the cell, it gets more complicated. If you have only numbers in a given column, just right-align the column (with a right indent if needed). Alternatively, you may not need a table at all; it may be that tabs alone with give the result you need; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/NumberAlignment.htm -- Suzanne S.
