I have the same problem in constructing an outline for a paper that I am writing. I'm sure this would be easy if I knew a great deal about Word, but for now I want it to simply mimic a good typewriter. I'd like to be able to use the tab key to do my own indentions, and add my own numerals and letters to items in the outline. But MS Office Word 07 will not allow me to place text where I want it to go, and the program often overrides and changes the numbers or letters that I have assigned to items.
It’s very annoying to append something to, say, "Item 3" in the outline, and watch with dismay as Word automatically renames my addition as "Item 4," then proceeds through the entire outline, changing the actual Item 4 to Item 5, etc. etc.
Eventually I want to learn how to use Word as it was designed to be used, but for now, I'd like know how to place numbers and letters and punctuation exactly where I want them on the screen. How, please?
