oiWhen I'm making an outline with bullets and/or numbering, I used to be
able
to hit the tab key to increase the indent, and produce the next number in
on
the outline. Likewise, I could hit Shift+Tab and the indent would
decrease.
Now the only thing that happens when I hit tab is the cursor moves as if I
was indenting for a new paragraph. PLEASE HELP! How do I fix this?
