How do I set a decimal tab in Outlook 2007? It was simple in Lotus Notes,
but in Outlook I am lost.

What is a "decimal tab" and what is it used for?

It is a tab marker that you can enter on the page ruler such that when you
enter a list of numbers, they can be aligned based on the decimal place
rather than the first digit of the number. So if you have a 6 digit and a 5
digit and a 4 digit number all in a list you don't have to try and line them
up using the space bar.

AFAIK, this can only be done in Word.
