Default How to align decimal places in regular order?

Hello everyone!
I am using the MS WORD 2010 in 64-bit of Windows-10.
I have a .dat file in ASCII format.
I need to fill the decimal places to align in regular data.



Ex:
9.3 4.8 7.4 5.6
10.4 2.3 11.5 4.9
2.6 4.4 10.4 3.0
Can you please help us with a solution ?

It is called a decimal tab.

Hi

I have a large data of 4453 rows and 50 columns. So how can I align the decimal places to all values. I'm using MS word 2010 version.

First, with data like that, you really should be looking at Excel.
Word is the word processor. Excel is the number processor.
You are going to have a very tough time even displaying 50 columns on a Word page, even one 22" wide.

You can select the columns of the table and apply the decimal tab to each column. You could use the format painter or Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V.

By the way, there is no advantage to using Word's 64-bit version and there are disadvantages.
