I installed Word 2002 in my new Windows 7 laptop in addition to the
Office 2007 I had previously installed and noticed something weird when
I create a numbered list as I type.

The way I recall it, when I want to go to next level of numbering I
would press enter, and when the next number in sequence appeared I would
hit tab to move it to the next indented level. Now, when I hit tab, it
does nothing. If I go to the number and hit tab, it deletes the number
and moves the text one level forward. I cannot create a sublevel.

Is there a Word option I am missing? I went to AutoCorrect options and
both autoformat and autoformat as yout type screens and both have
numbered lists selected. Not sure what else to do.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Wanted to add that both Words were installed in their separate folders.

As You Type: check the box for "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces."

That was it. Thank you very much.
