Default Backspace should remove bullet AND go to previous paragraph

I recently installed Office 2003, including Word 2003.

In Word 2000, I was able to configure something so that if I was at the
beginning of a list item, and pressed backspace, Word removed the previous
paragraph marker.

So for:

1. List 1
2. List 2

And I pressed backspace when the cursor was at the beginning of List 2, I
would get.

1. List 1 List 2

Now, pressing backspace deletes the bullet or number itself, which is silly.
The bullet/number should not be touched by backspace. If the paragraph style
has numbering or bullets, then the number/bullet should never be removed
unless I change the style.

Is there a way to configure Word 2003 so that backspace from the beginning
of the list item removes the previous paragraph marker?
