Default Tab key used to increase an indent in numbered list but now won't

I want to be able to use the tab key increase an indent in numbered list but
for some reason it recently stopped doing it. Did I accidently change some
setting?

Thanks!

Word 2000 and earlier: Check the box for "Tabs and backspace set left
indent" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.

Word 2002 and 2003: Check the box for "Set left- and first-indent with tabs
and backspaces" on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect
Options.
