If the issue is with the Tab and Shift+Tab keys in outline-numbered lists,
do the following: In the AutoCorrect dialog box, click the AutoFormat As You
Type tab. Enable the option to "Set left- and first-indent with tab and
backspaces."

To display the dialog box: Office button | Word Options, Proofing category,
AutoCorrect Options button (Word 2007). Tools | AutoCorrect Options (Word
2003).
