Question
I have Microsoft Office Word 2007, and whenever I outline I use the multilevel list option. Usually when I hit enter to go to the next line and press tab, the next bullet/number or whatever format symbol appears for the next list level. However, for some reason on this computer that I am using when i press tab, it only indents and does not automatically change the list level. I can still do it manually by clicking the "change list level" option, but is there a way to change it so that it does it automatically when I hit tab? I use Microsoft Office Word 2007 on other computers and it does it automatically.
Thank you,
Katie
Hi Katie,
Must report that I don’t have Word 2007 and have yet to be convinced that I need it.
Feel free to ask one or all of the other volunteers about this issue.
One of them just may have run into a similar situation and they all are a lot smarter than I am.

Good Luck.
