lost tab response in bulleting for mac word 2004
This question has been posted before, but the response, "Set first and left
indent with tabs and backspaces" under autocorrect, doesn't seem to be an option. Is this because I'm working on a Mac or am I just missing something? If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it because the disconnect between the tab and bullets is driving me crazy! |

On the Mac, it's in Word | Preferences | Edit.
In general, what's in Tools | Options in WinWord is in Word | Preferences on the Mac (and I think this option used to be in Tools | Options, or something). Anyhow, anytime something is driving you crazy in MacWord, always check Word | Preferences and Tools | AutoCorrect for a relevant setting.

It's probably going to be different on a Mac, but it's also different on PCs
depending on version. It moved to the AutoFormat As You Type dialog in Word 2002; before that there was a similar option on the Edit tab of Tools | Options (on a Mac I think this would be Preferences?). -- Suzanne S.

You both hit it with the Preferences menu. I didn't even know that existed
(still learning from the PC to Mac switch) but thank you soooo much!

Welcome to the Mac.
Most important piece of information for new Mac users (in my opinion): On a Mac, every single program should have a Preferences dialog under the [application name] menu. 90% of the time, if something is annoying you or you want to change a default, check out the Preferences. This is true in all Mac programs. On 9/14/06 4:15 PM, "Slobo121" wrote: You both hit it with the Preferences menu.
