You can use a decimal tabulator and something like \t<n+>.<n+>. Depending 
on your exact needs, you also may use a right tabulator or several tabs. 
To align numbers also be sure to turn kerning off for the used paragraph 
or character format. With no kerning, in most fonts all numbers are evenly 
spaced.
