Is this Word 97, 2000, 2002 or 2003? If so, I think the following will help:
In Tools | Options, General tab, clear the options that refer to
WordPerfect.

For the last two weeks, I have had problems with the auto formatting of
outlines. The first two lines appear with normal indentation. As soon as
I
get passed that point, the numbering or lettering is correct but the line
appears flush left. If I tab it goes to the next indent character. Shift
tab then moves it back to the correct character and indent.
