The automatic numbering/bullet function for Word 2003 usually advances the
"outline" level by hitting tab. For example, if the first line is 1. when
you
hit enter and then tab you should get 1.1. My Word used to do that and now
it
doesn't. When I hit tab it just moves the cursor over without taking the
outline character with it. I can advance each one using the increase
indent
button but that is time consuming and annoying. If anyone knows how I can
fix
this I would be very grateful. Thanks.
