Hello David, Thanks again for your work on officer and flextable. It's a real pleasure to work with it ! I mostly use it to generate tables for word doc. I have a request, I would like to know if it's possible to align numbers in collumn on the decimal separator ?

I add this small exemple from word:

Thanks in advance, Jim

Hello,

I don't know how to do it unless if format is pdf. I think it is only managed correctly by pdf. Did your Word example has been done manually or did you do it via a Word feature?

Hello David, Thank for your answer. It can be done with a format options, in the tab windows, see my screen shot (paragraph > tab, select decimal and press +)
