Numbering in table cells

[Jen]

I have set up a custom numbering format that looks like
S.1, S.2 and applied it to a column in my table so each
new row gets a new number.

The problem is that when it gets to S.10, for some reason
it's adding extra spaces at the end of the field. This
throws off the spacing, since the column is centre-
aligned.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the extra spaces after
the number?

Is the numbering in a column by itself? If so, did you set the character
following the number to be "(none)" rather than a tab?
