Maybe you have a two-column table? Some vertical borders may be hidden to create the illusion of a single column (with two different text alignment settings).



On the Home tab in Word, click the ¶ icon to display nonprinting marks. Each table cell will be terminated with an end-of-cell marker (¤). (You will also see the ¤ symbol at the end of each table row.)

What do you see in your table?

The table is split into 2 columns. In the left column formatting has been done so that Specification is aligned to the left and Unit is aligned to the right of the left column. I selected the ¶ icon and I can see some arrows but i'm not sure what it really means.

The arrows indicate tab characters. Inside a table cell, you have to press Ctrl+Tab to insert a tab character. Pressing just Tab moves the insertion point to the next cell.

If you do want to use tabs, you will have to add some right-aligned tab stops to text paragraphs within cells.
