Default Hitting "enter" creates (and increments) ordered list

Tools autocorrect options autoformat as you type apply automatic
bulleted and numbered lists.

Greetings all -
Just got a new work computer w/fresh install of MS-Office 2000 (yes,
that's the right version. Yes, I know. Yes, I've tried. No, I can't.
Onwards...)

In previous lives, I seem to remember that when I start typing a
paragraph with, let's say a number, as follows:

1) This is a darn interesting paragraph

...and then hit "Enter" at the end of the word "paragraph", MS-Word
recognizes that I want to create a bulleted list, and does so. It
indents the paragraph, increments the number, and I'm off to the
races writing more fascinating content.

Same thing with bulleted lists. If, instead of a numbered list, I
were to write:
- find out if a restraining order can be filed against an animal.
Particularly cats

...and hit "Enter" at the end of the word "cat", MS-Word recognizes
that I want a bulleted list using the "-" character, and busies
itself doing so; indenting the paragraph, starts another sentence
with the "-" character, and waits for the next line in the unending
drama that is my struggle with all things feline.

How do I set that up on this new installation of MS-Word 2000?

Thanks all -
