Default Formatting in multilevel lists

I have been working in a document that involves a multilevel list format.
When I first started working with this document (previously created by others
- I am re-formatting to get it to match several other documents of similar
subject) I was able to hit return and then tab over to change to the next
level. (i.e. - On level 1 "1.1", hit return "1.2" then hit tab "1.2" changes
to "A").
Since my start on this I have since selected/or hit something that
discontinued it from doing this... now it just tabs over.
If I thought this was going to be a one-time thing, I would not fret,
however I have approximately 20 more documents that I have to do similar to
this AND I am sure there will be projects in the future that require the same
thing.
Please, if there is anyone out there who can help me, I would be forever
indebted!

Default Formatting in multilevel lists

Word 2007? Do the following: Click the Office button, and then click Word
Options. In the Proofing category, click AutoCorrect Options. On the
AutoFormat As You Type tab, select "Set left and first indent with tabs and
backspaces." Click OK twice.
