decimal points all lined up (hell I can't even do that now)
In Word there are different types of tab stops, notably Left, Center, Right and Decimal.
If you turn on the Ruler (View tab, Ruler checkbox) you'll see a little bold "L" at the top left where the side and top rulers meet - that's not an L, that's an indicator for the kind of tab stop that will be created when you click on the top ruler. You can click on that tab stop type indicator to switch between tab stop and margin types - or if you double-click on the top ruler to set a tab stop it should show you the tab stop dialog that also allows choosing a tab stop type for each defined stop (along with things like setting a tab stop leader for things like a dotted line . . . . . . . . . . . . . . across to a page number in a table of contents).
