I am writing an outline in Word 2007 on Vista and cannot promote a line
using the tab key. Instead it actually inserts a tab (imagine that).

How do I fix this?

Thanks, bob

Well, it's the same setting as before, and if you search this NG, you'll
probably find a post telling you where to find it in Word 2007. In Word
2003, it's Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type: "Set first-
and left-indent with tabs and backspaces."

It is in the same spot with 2007 (except that it would be Word Options |
Proofing | ...). I've always taken the feature for granted and did not know
that it was an option.

Thanks!
