Default Using automatic multilevel numbering in protected forms.

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?
