So I opened up Word 2007, and I went to type a bulleted list, and I went to indent the second item using the ‘tab’ key…

and it didn’t happen.

Grr.

But there is a solution. I Googled the problem and found the answer at http://help.wugnet.com/office/Turning-automatic-paragraph-indent-Word-2007-ftopict1065762.html. It turns out that during my work yesterday, I turned off “Set first- and something- indent using tab key” setting in ‘AutoFormat As You Type’. Huh.

This program is so complex it drives me nuts sometimes. I played with the idea of switching to WordPad for my writing, but WordPad can’t do multi-level lists. I might as well use Notepad. So I have to choose between “useless” and “over-the-top” when it comes to functionality. Grr.
