TAB no longer increases outline level or character
In the past I could right-click and select "Bullets and
numbering", then choose the outline tab, and choose which format I wanted. Hitting enter would start a new line with the same bullet character at the same outline-level. At that point I could press TAB to increase the indent to the next outline level, with the next bullet character. Likewise, pressing SHIFT-TAB would decrease the indent and revert the the previous outline level and bullet character. But not anymore. Now after starting an outline, pressing TAB increases the indent, but not the outline level or bullet character - the text just gets farther away from the little bullet, which is not very helpful for my outlines. Furthermore, SHIFT-TAB seems to function exactly as TAB does, it increases rather than decreases the indent. Any ideas on how I can get this back?? Thanks Tim |

Any ideas on what version of Word you're using?
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.
