Problem in outline format

[Guest]

In outline format, hitting tab to go to the next level only puts a tab in,
but does not take me to the next level. Hitting shift tab should also take me
back one level, but that also just puts a tab in place. Please help

Try Tools-->Options, Edit tab. Make sure "tabs and backspace set left
indent" is checked.

When I go to Tools-options-edit, there is no "tabs and backspace set left
indent". Would it be somewhere else? Thanks, Kim

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.

frustration. Thanks again, Kim

Thanks, GnO. Didn't check if newer versions were different.

Hi Lindsay,

Word 2004 means you are on a Mac--that option is under Word |
Preferences | Edit.

It's good for Mac users to ask on Mac groups--see here for
Google/Entourage gateway to newsgroups for MacWord, MacExcel, and other
MS programs for the Mac:
