It's annual budget time again, and this year I've resolved to find this out: how do I get the dollar signs in my 1-2-3 spreadsheet to line up on the left hand side of the column? -Eric Sadoyama

The hard way: ------------- Do lots of clever string manipulation and character counting code surrounding every formula/value +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Neale D.

I assume that you want output that looks like:
widget 1; $1,000,000.00
widget 2 $ 1,000.00
pizza $ 12.99
If that assumption is really valid, then make a column for the
dollar sign. If that's not what you want, I don't know.
