All,
  I'm trying to align a column of numbers using WriteRealForm().  I get a
fair alignment by using nbdigitspace as my 'pad' character.  Is there a way
to align a column of numbers on the decimal?  Is there an attribute in
TextRulers that would allow me to set a 'decimal tab' as can be done in 
word processing packages like MS-Word?

thanks.
