You can also use two table columns. You have to get rid of any extra
inter-column spaces. Going from my LaTeX documentation, the following works (I
tested it):

\begin{tabular}{r@{}lr@{}l}
1. & 0   &  0. & 0003 \\
0. & 333 & -0. & 0001 \\
\end{tabular}

While this is not quite as convenient as you might like, it's not all that
difficult either ....						Eliot
