The TAB key and SHIFT+TAB won't change the list level in Word 2007. Instead,
both commands will just indent with a normal TAB. How can I fix this?

Click on the Office (Pizza) button and then on Word Options in the bottom
border of the dialog and then select the Proofing Item and then click on the
AutoCorrectOptions button and then in the AutoCorrect dialog that opens, go
to the AutoFormat As You Type tab and check the box against the "Set left-
and first-indent with tabs and backspaces" item.

That is what they call "Discoverability" in the new Ribbon Interface. I
understand that it was to make discovery easier.

It was equally hard to find in Word 2002/2003 given that MS moved it from
where it was in Word 2000 and earlier and changed the wording.
