tabs disconnected from bullets
The tab key has ceased working in two ways: 1) It does not advance to the
next level bullet when I am typing a bulleted list. It just tabs over and keeps the bullet in the same spot. Resetting the tab spaces in the bullets & numbers menu does not fix this problem. 2) Shift+tab does not move my cursor backwards - instead it just moves it forward another tab space. (in effect, the tab and shift+tab are no longer doing what the "increase indent" and "decrease indent" buttons do. This has happened to me a couple other times and I can't for the life of me figure out what I did or what setting to fix. I've even tried going back to default settings to no avail. This seems like it would be a simple problem to solve, but alas, the only way I have been able to fix this is reinstalling the software. Help! |
