I'm sure that somewhere in the "Word options" I've seen a way to turn
that off,
but it has totally disappeared.

Where is it?

Pizza Button
Word Options
Proofing
AutoCorrect Options (button)
AutoFormat as you type

Uncheck the box at the bottom for setting indents with tab and backspace
key.

Intuitive? Not!

Thanks! I wonder how it got changed. Maybe a finger slipped when I was putting
in my regular langauge language and a few other words after a new installation.
