I cannot right-align the data in a column in a table (in the fifth column). When I print as txt, the figures in the column are not aligned because of the minus signs. (in the fifth column)

sprintf may be the command you need. It is a C-style string formatting command that belongs to base R. Example below.
data.frame(a = sprintf("%-1.5f", pi*-3:3))
# output NOT RUN

2 -6.28319
3 -3.14159
4 0.00000
5 3.14159
6 6.28319
7 9.42478
# NOT RUN
Note that it is the minus sign after the % that left justifies the numbers. There's no right justify that I can tell but I think it will do the job. Otherwise, replace with + in order to force the sign for both +/-.
Also make sure that you wrap the function in an as.numeric() so you don't accidentally coerce the data type.
