"tabs" in outline numbered bullets & numberings

[Guest]

Whenever I created outlines in word from the bullets & numberings, the "tab"
key would move the outline number/letter to the next level (e.g., from I. to
A.). Now, when I use "tab", instead of changing the level of the outline, a
tab space is created. I am not sure what I did to change the setting. How do
I change it back?

Thank you
