tab and numbered lists - easy question i hope.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I used to be able to hit the tab key after creating a numbered list to
increase the indent

ex:

1. xyz
a. (after hitting enter from above line, i would just hit tab to
increase the indent and change the numbering to whatever was next - letters
in this case)

For some reason the tab key does not perform that same function anymore and
now i have to go up to the toolbar and hit the "increase indent" tool to
perform the function. I do a lot of outlining and having to fumble around
with my laptop mouse is annoying. Did I dactivate some option in word? I
have searched quite a bit in the help menu to no avail. Any ideas?

thanx in advance,

tt
