A problem with tabbing in lists Andrew 03.06.2006 14:39:02 For some reason, when I hit TAB in a numbered or bulleted list, it actually moves five spaces to the right, instead of changing to the next level in the list hierarchy (i.e. move from 2. to a.) Similary, when I hit SHIFT-TAB, it moves fives spaces to the right. It used to work by jumping up or down one level in the hierarchy. It's been this way for a couple of weeks, and I don't know what I've done to muck it up or how to fix it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office, but it seems that many of my personal settings were kept... perhaps the corruption is in my personal settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated; it's driving me nuts because I use that function every day! Thanks, If you prefer, you can email me at andrewoosterhoff[ at ]reallynospamplease.hotmail.com (removing "reallynospamplease." will, as you might guess, be the correct address)

Re: A problem with tabbing in lists Andrew 03.06.2006 16:21:02 It worked! Thanks to both of you... I feel silly that I didn't catch that; I went into the autocorrect menu, but for some reason, I didn't get it. I must have messed it up without realizing it at the time. Anyway, I feel more happy than silly. Thanks again! "Suzanne S.

Re: A problem with tabbing in lists "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 03.06.2006 20:04:14 Well, I've never felt that the wording of that option was very clear, and it didn't help that it was moved from Tools | Options | Edit to Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type so that even someone who knew what it did and how to use it could no longer find it! -- Suzanne S.
