I can't seem to use the automatic numbered outline feature as it is intended
to be used. The tab button will not automatically increase or decrease my
indent. It won't change from 1. to a. and back.

I think this might have something to do with the fact that I can't find
"Normal.dot" when I search my C drive.

Depending on version (which it would have been helpful if you had
mentioned):

Word 2002/2003: Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type: "Set
left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces."

Word 2000 and earlier: Tools | Options | Edit: "Tabs and backspace set left
indent."
