Hi Kevin, "ColumnAlignments" is unfortunately no option of "TableForm". Read the help carefully. It is an option of "GridBox". Here is an example how you would format a 2-dim table of data with 3 digits aligned at the dcimal point: GridBox[Map[NumberForm[#, 3] &, data, {2}], ColumnAlignments -> "."] // DisplayForm further info: Mathematica version 5.1 book 2.9.11 Adjusting Details of Formatting or: http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/book/section-2.9.11 Kevin J.
