MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / August 2006Bullet NUmbering
When I click on bullets on the toolbar and start typing I encounter 2 scenarios. Scenario 1 on my laptop: TAB key indents and puts a new bullet character Scenario 2 on desktop: I have to use ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW key to achieve the TAB effect in scenario 1. TAB does NOt work I prefer scenario 1 . What is causing the combo keys in scenario 2 and how do I change it ? Thanks Word 97 or 2000: Tools | Options | Edit: "Tabs and backspace set left indent." Word 2002 or 2003: Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type: "Set first- and left-indent with tabs and backspaces."  SignatureSuzanne S.

Personally I prefer to reserve the Tab key for actual tabbing, so I make use of Alt+Shift+Right Arrow and Alt+Shift+Left Arrow instead of Tab and Shift+Tab. But if you prefer to use the Tab key, you won't lose any functionality: if, for some reason, you want to add a tab character at the beginning of a numbered paragraph, you can do so by clicking Ctrl+Tab (this shortcut is also used to insert tab characters in a table cell).

It is a cool tip cause tab in a table takes you to the next cell or row. Learned something new Is there a good source of all these useful key board shortcuts consolidated in 1 doc or page?

At "Print what," choose "Key assignments," and click OK. SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > Stefan, > [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] > > > > > > > > > > Thanks Thanks for the Ctrl+Tab tip. I don't usually have the Tab/Shift+Tab method enabled, but when I'm working with a document that is primarily an outline, I do check that option to expedite the process. Invariably, while I'm in the middle of that project, I'll open something else that requires ordinary tabs, forget my settings, and be annoyed to get indents where I expected tab characters.
