Microsoft Word - When I hit tab, it no longer indents the bullet-point in a list?

Question

When I hit tab, it no longer indents the bullet-point in a list. Steps to reproduce:1. Create a bulleted list 2. Hit Enter to move to the next line; a bullet-point is created 3. Hit Tab to indent the bullet-point to the next levelIn the past, step three would work. However, now, it just adds a tab (white space), and I have to actually click the increase-indentation button in order to move that bullet-point to the next level. (Hitting-shift-tab also adds a tab (white space) rather than reducing the level of the bullet-point) I probably tweaked a setting in my flailing-style.Any ideas on fixing this? I can't find the setting. Using MS Word 2010.

Answer 1

In Word, click "File" in the ribbon at the top left.

Click "Options"

Click "Proofing"

Click "AutoCorrect Options..."

Click "AutoFormat As You Type" tab

Click the setting "Set left- and first- indent with tabs and backspaces"

Click "OK"

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have additional questions!
