I used to be able to use bullets and when I hit enter and tab the bullet
shape would change and it would be indented. Now when I hit tab the bullet
remains on the left margin and only the words are indented to the right.
This is occuring on all my Word documents not just one file. How can I have
the formating back to the way it was with the outline format on all my files?

Word 97 or 2000: On the Edit tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Tabs
and backspace set left indent."

Word 2002 or 2003: On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect
Options, check the box for "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces."

Word 2007: There is a similar setting somewhere.
