How to set up a lower hierarchy of headings with tab key?

[Guest]

I use Word for outlining. Typically, the lower headings are numbered
automatically with (a) or (1), etc when I tab. Since last week, this hasn't
been happening. How do I turn this feature back on?

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

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

Tools-->Options, Edit tab. "Tabs and backspace..." should be checked.
