Can you tab backwards

[Jennie R.]

Someone I am helping on the computer has Word 04 (either 03 or 04) and
wants to tab backwards. Can this be done?

thanks for any help,

Jennie

Shift+Tab will move backward in tables and protected forms, and it will
promote outline levels if you have the appropriate option enabled, but it
doesn't work like "margin release" on a typewriter (or, I think, in
WordPerfect). Word allows tab stop settings to the right of the right margin
but not to the left of the left margin except in a paragraph with a negative
left indent (and this would still accommodate only a forward tab).
