Tab key not doing what it's supposed to do Edmund LeRoy 19.09.2006 02:57:01 On my home computer in numbered lists beginning at, say, 1, when I go to the next line I get 2, which is expected. Hitting the TAB key, however, doesn't advance to the next level, "a." 2 stays in place and an extra tab marker goes in instead. Oddly, my office computer DOES advance to the next level when I hit TAB. I've done everything I know to do to make the TAb go to the next level. I've reset everything. I've compared my home settings to my office and they appear to be the same. There must be something really simple that I'm overlooking, but I can't find it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

But note also that you can use Alt+Shift+right arrow to demote (and Alt+Shift+left arrow to promote) numbering levels. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Edmund LeRoy" wrote in message news:BCCD5086-E593-491D-AC47-BDF0C94D9E76[ at ]microsoft.com...
