FM 8.0p277 Vista Home Premium. I create the EDDs as well as do the writing for my company and am still learning.

What is the best way to line text up within cells of a table? For example, I have a numbered list within a cell and I want the item numbers to stand out from the item text.

Can I add a definition in the EDD to handle this or is it best to put the numbers in a separate column in the table and remove the cell ruling in between using the Table Designer? In a regular body text flow I would set indents and tab stops. Because pressing the Tab key moves the cursor to the next cell within a table, I realize that setting tab stops doesn't accomplish what I want within the table.
