confused with tabs, indents
You are absolutely right. Very good point!
In Word 2007, there are two possible culprits: "Don't use hanging indent as tab stop for bullets and numbering" and/or "Don't add automatic tab stop for hanging indent." In Word 2003, only the latter option exists. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Might it, though, depending on the setting of the Compatibility Option regarding tabs and hanging indents? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... I'm glad you got it sorted. However, I must have misunderstood your initial message, as I assumed you were trying to indent/outdent paragraphs with bullet *formatting* in them. Such paragraphs would not be affected by a custom tab stop being present in the text. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kraftsims" wrote in message ... that settled the issue. Thank you. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 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. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "kraftsims" wrote in message ... 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? "Stefan Blom" wrote: 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" wrote in message ... 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 . . |
