From: kraftsims on 9 Apr 2010 13:28 I'm having trouble with indents and tabs. Been using word for a long while now, various versions, never had it do this before. Not sure what brought on the change. when using bullets, I'm trying to indent to various levels. I used to hit the tab key or shift+tab to move the indent. Doesn't work anymore. The tab key pops the cursor to the middle (3.4 on ruler) of the page. Not sure what happened. Anyone know how I can get his going back to the 0.5 incremental indentation that was activated by the tab and shift+tab? Thanks, Robert
From: Stefan Blom on 9 Apr 2010 13:39 On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box, make sure that "Set left and first indent with tabs and backspaces" is selected, after which you should be able to promote and demote numberingm levels using Tab and Shift+Tab. To open the dialog box, do the following: - Click Tools | AutoCorrect Options (Word 2003). - Click Office button | Word Options; in the Proofing category, click the AutoCorrect Options button (Word 2007). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kraftsims" <kraftsims(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6FEACBA8-C136-48A6-93F7-91DB862B3671(a)microsoft.com... > I'm having trouble with indents and tabs.

From: kraftsims on 9 Apr 2010 15:08 thank you for the information. Did not stop the original problem unfortunately. What is happening is that the tab key causes the cursor to jump to the middle of the page to about the 3.4 inch How do I stop the tab key from jumping to the middle of the page?

From: kraftsims on 9 Apr 2010 17:19 This is really frustrating me. I'm hoping someone can help. I inserted a tab marker at 0.25 interval in the ruler. I can use the tab key to make bullets jump to the next level, buy they are jumping half way across the page. This is really hampering my productivity. Not sure what has happened or why. I haven't changed anything that I know of. Can anyone help? Thanks "kraftsims" wrote: > > thank you for the information. Did not stop the original problem > unfortunately.

Perhaps you have a tab stop set there? This will cause the built-in tab stops to the left of it to be deleted. -- Suzanne S.
