Default Decrease Indent on Bullet or Numbered Lists

I used to be able to press the tab button to increase the indent to a new
bullet and decrease it back by pressing the tab and left button on the
keyboard. It doesn't work anymore. How do i get it Back??

In Word 97 and 2000, click on Tools | Options | Edit tab | check
the "Tabs and backspace set left indent" box | OK.

In Word 2002 and 2003, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options |
AutoFormat As You Type tab | check the "Set left- and
first-indent with tabs and backspaces" box | OK.
