Thank you! That was making me nuts. I never go into that menu, so I don't
know how that box got unckecked in the first place.

This is a weird little bug....
Ever since I installed Word 2003 the justification/tabs/etc. have
worked like this: If I select center justification, type my line,
and hit enter, the cursor is still in the center of the next line.
But I can easily move it back to the left margin, not by using the
mouse to change the justification again, but by simply hitting
backspace. Similarly, if I am typing paragraphs with the first line
indented by .05, and hit enter, the cursor on the next line is
automatically at .05. But again, I can move it back to the left
margin by just hitting backspace and not having to go into the
paragraph formatting menu.

BUT, for some reason, when I turned my computer on yesterday, this
simple "backspace" shortcut is not working. Now, when I hit
backspace from a line that is center justified, it moves me, not to
the left margin, but to the right side of the previous line.
Similarly, if my cursor on a new line is at .05 and I hit backspace,
I move up to the previous line, not the left margin. I'm not sure
what setting I could have changed to eliminate the backspace shortcut
but it is making me crazy. Any thoughts/advice?
