Does the accounting number format causes the cells to display with two decimal places so that decimal places in cells below align vertically?

For a single cell: with the cell selected, Format menu > Cells > Number tab > Category: Number [By default the Decimal places is set to 2] > OK.To apply this format to a whole column: position the mouse icon over the column heading (such as B); the icon becomes a black arrow pointing down. Click to select the column, then use the Format menu as above.To apply this format to a range of cells: select the range, then use the Format menu as above.You can also adjust the horizontal position of figures within a cell: select the cell(s), then Format menu > Cells > Alignment tab > explore the options under Horizontal, especially Right (Indent) with Indent set at 1 or 2.When one cell has just the right format, you can apply its format to one or more other cells using the Format Painter. Select the "perfect" cell, then click the paintbrush icon in the Formatting toolbar, then click another cell to apply the format without changing the value in the cell. If you double-click the Format Painter, you can go on "painting" cells as long as you like. To exit, press Esc on your keyboard or click the Painter icon again.
