Reply To: Use tabs or tables in setting Financial Statements in Annual Reports

Personally I use Tables all the time for these.

It's easier to apply separating lines, and separating colours behind the text. A lot more flexible in moving columns.

You'll just need to have paragraph styles for Double Underline, Single Underline and other things.

It's pretty straight forward. I find that if you use an En Space or Figure Space before the numbering to extend the Underline a bit from the text, you can even include it on the other side.
