My tab key won't indent my bullets,

[Guest]

I am trying to work in a bullets, but when I hit the tab key, the cursor
moves, but the bullet does not indent (or change style). What's wrong?

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.

What about word 2007? I am having the same issue.

Nevermind. You go about it the same way.
You select the windows icon on the top left of microsoft word
Then select Word Options
Then select the Proofing Tab
Select Autocorrect Options to the right of the screen
Select AutoFormat As You Type
Click to the right of Set left- and first-indent tabs and backspaces

That solves the issue in 2007.
