I know that 'Tables' allows right/left align, but I used to find WP's typeset so much more flexible.
I appreciate the reply, rengineer, but I think for ease of updating/modifying/changing layout, and since I would like summation of some of the values, I'll stick with the Excel solution. I also find the 'mathematical' functions in Word tables a distraction. I do not like the 'new' layout of the Word toolbar, and by the time I have located how to insert the correct formula in a table it is far quicker to use Excel with which I am quite familiar!
