My tab key won't work to change the levels in an outline. I have to open the
outlining toolbar and use the promote and demote buttons. Is there a setting
somewhere that I need to change in order to be able to use the tabs?

I'm using Word 2003.

Click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type tab |
check the "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces" box | OK.
