Dear Suzanne,

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem. If I
setup a numbered list by pressing the numbered list icon on the tool bar and
then add the text field for the form using the shortcuts do nothing.

Also it is impossible to setup a numbered list in the field itself.

Please help.

Have you tried using the Alt+Shift+Right/Left Arrow shortcuts?

Hi, I apologise if this has already been addressed, but I have looked
everywhere and cannot seem to find the solution.

I have a protected form where a few fields have a numbered list. Initially
I
set up a numbered list and then added the form text field next to it.

This works well for a single layered list and generates a new number with
every "ENTER". The problem is I would like to use multilayered forms in
the
protected fields except the TAB key doesn't work in forms to increase
indent.

I have also tried to see if automatic numbering works if a person just
enters text in a blank field beginning with a number. This doesn't work
either. The work around I am currently using is tedious. I go to the field
where I enter my numbered list. When I have to insert an INDENT to make
the
number a higher level I click the protection off. Click the INCREASE
INDENT
on the toolbar. Click protect again and continue. Every time I have to
make a
change to the numbered list's level I have to do this.

Is there any easy of using a multilevel automatic numbered list in a form?
