MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / August 2004Outline numbering
I have used outline for years. On my new 2003 version I hit format, bullets and numbering, outline, and then select an outline format. When I hit enter it puts the outline number on the document, but when I hit the tab kep it does not indent to the next level. I worked on it for an hour and then uninstalled it and put the XP version back on so I could use the outline feature. My son has the same problem, both are using 2003, and a Dell laptop. anon, It isn't that this changed between versions, just that you (and your son also) have an option set differently in your XP and 2003 installations. That settings is found in Tools>Options>Edit, and is called "Tabs and backspace set left indent". It needs to be checked on your 2003 installations for them to function in the way you expect.

Thank you. I really need to upgrade at home (since I can't at work) so I don't have to be told these things.

This is one of those really annoying changes, not only because it was moved to such an unlikely place but also because the unnecessary hyphens irritate me every time I have to cite the option text!

The solution that I have so far is: clicking on the Indent to move to level two and and Decrease Indent when going back to level 1. Hope this helps... >-----Original Message----- >I have used outline for years. On my new 2003 version I [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >laptop. >. You need to check one of the following options: For Word 2000 and earlier: Tools > Options > Edit: "Tabs and backspace set left indent." For Word 2002 and later: Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoFormat As You Type: "Set first and left indent with tabs and backspaces."
