If you want to use fractions, and keep numbers aligned(I take it this is what
you want), then format your cells as number, with one or two decimals. You
will then get 1.0 or 1.00, while a decimal will show as 0.5 or 0.50. The
decimal indicators will align below each other.

I want to get my numbers in a cell a little farther away from the right
border. Putting a 1 in the indent box in the format cell dialogue box is too
much. But it wont let me type a fraction or decimal 0.5.

Am I the only one in the universe that wants this?

Is there another way?

Thanks
