well, what do you know? I got rid of the ????s
now, to fix the alignment:
YEAR . . . . . . . . Quantity . . . . . . . . . Rate
2000 . . . . . . . . 5555 . . . . . . . . . 4.4
2001 . . . . . . . . 6666 . . . . . . . . . 5.5
2002 . . . . . . . . 3333 . . . . . . . . . 6.6
2003 . . . . . . . . 7777 . . . . . . . . . 7.7
That's with eight dots in one column, then nine in the other

YEAR . . . . . . Quantity . . . . . . Rate
2000 . . . . . . . . 5555 . . . . . . . . . 4.4
2001 . . . . . . . . 6666 . . . . . . . . . 5.5
