Outline Numbering and Indent

[Guest]

I have a simple need, I'm doing an outline style document in the format of
1.10.1.2. etc. My requirement is that each level needs to be indented.
1. Level One
1.1. Level Two
1.1.1. Level Three

Is there a way, that I can type "1. Level One" hit return, hit tab, and get
the outline to INDENT AND change the numbering.

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

which indents for me but does not promote and demote the numbering. (It
gives me:
2. Level Two
instead of
1.1. Level Two

Seems like a logical thing to ask for.

In order to use Tab and Shift+Tab (or Alt+Shift+Right/Left Arrow) to demote
and promote outline levels, you must have outline numbering set up as
described at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html
(and you must press Tab). If you want the Enter key to do this, then you
need to have Level Two defined as the "Style for following paragraph" for
Level One.
