I am doing an outline and my tab button is not indenting or demoting next
items. It only works like a tab. also if I hit shift tab it is not back
tabbing. I am sure it is an easy fix but i can't figure it out
 
It would help if you told us what version of Word this is:

Word 2000 or earlier: Check the box for "Tabs and backspace set left indent"
on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.

Word 2002 or 2003: Check the box for "Set first- and left-indent with tabs
and backspaces" on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect
Options.
