Once upon a time I could control the indent of outline numbering and bullets
by using the TAB/SHIFT + TAB keys. That no longer is the case and have been
looking high and low in Options, etc to turn it back on.

Would appreciate if someone knew how this is done would give me a pointer or
two

TIA

Suzanne! You're a sweetheart! I have looked and looked. Not a very obvious
place - but bet I don't froget that one.

Thanks again...

In Word 2002 this option was moved from the Edit tab of Tools | Options,
where it was differently phrased. Most users have difficulty finding it in
its new location and guise.
