Default numbered lists

Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat
As You Type: check the box for "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces."

I installed Word 2002 in my new Windows 7 laptop in addition to the Office
2007 I had previously installed and noticed something weird when I create a
numbered list as I type.

The way I recall it, when I want to go to next level of numbering I would
press enter, and when the next number in sequence appeared I would hit tab
to move it to the next indented level. Now, when I hit tab, it does
nothing. If I go to the number and hit tab, it deletes the number and
moves the text one level forward. I cannot create a sublevel.

Is there a Word option I am missing? I went to AutoCorrect options and
both autoformat and autoformat as yout type screens and both have numbered
lists selected. Not sure what else to do.

Any suggestions appreciated.
