Default What does the backward arrow on the tab key do?

Note that the Shift+Tab functionality assumes that one of the
following options is checked:

For Word 2000 and earlier: Tools Options, Edit tab: "Tabs and
backspace set left indent."

For Word 2002 and later: Tools AutoCorrect, AutoFormat As You Type
tab: "Set first and left indent with tabs and backspaces."

If the appropriate option is cleared, Shift+Tab is no different from
Tab.

Only 0% computer people around me know about this. This is use to

move back
as you move forward by pressing TAB.

To use this, you have to use a combination of SHIFT+TAB.

Hope this information will be sufficient as you can use this method

to move
backward as you move forward pressing TAB.

Let us know!
