I am currently creating a Crystal report, but having difficulty on how to align certain columns. I have a Social Security, employee_name, Check Number and Amount.

I understand that the amounts should be right aligned so the decimals line up, but how should the Social Security column be aligned? I understand it is a 'Number' but it doesn't seem like a normal number that should be right aligned. I also am concerned about my Check Number column. This does have check numbers that are 10 characters long, but there is a chance my column can have "DIRDEP" for direct deposit. Should this be left align, or right aligned?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

SOCIAL SEC EMPLOYEE CHECK AMOUNT

000000000 JOE SMITH 0000001123 321.21
000000000 JIM SMITH DIRDEP 123.21
