Answer: My tab key won't indent my bullets,
Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with indenting your bullets in Microsoft Word. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.
I hope this helps you get your bullets indented properly!

In Word 97 and 2000, click on Tools | Options | Edit | check the
"Tabs and backspace set left indent" box | OK. In Word 2002 and 2003, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type | check the "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces" box | OK.

Nevermind. You go about it the same way.
You select the windows icon on the top left of microsoft word Then select Word Options Then select the Proofing Tab Select Autocorrect Options to the right of the screen Select AutoFormat As You Type Click to the right of Set left- and first-indent tabs and backspaces That solves the issue in 2007.

Since Pamela brought this thread back, I will take this opportunity to ask my closely-related question. My old installation of Word would use the tab key to set the indent ONLY for bullets and numbering, but NOT for regular paragraphs, which is the setting I prefer. I installed exactly the same software on my new computer (with Windows 7 instead of Windows XP) and this functionality seems to be lost. I can change the setting manually but it seems to always apply the same setting to both situations, which is quite annoying. Does anyone have any ideas?

To fix this problem: 1. Create a new bullet on the document. 2. Click on the drop down arrow attached to the right of the bullet button 3. Select "Change List Level" 4. This will create another drop down list from which you can select either the first level of bullets and tab over or you can select the exact bullet with its correct positioning. |
