Ask Tom the Tech Tipper: Yo Tom! Why Won’t My Tab Button Change Levels in My Outlines and Lists in Word?
That’s a great question, and I was just about to get to that. I’m a great believer in lists and outlines. Many of my CLNC amigos use the convenient automatic outline and bulleted/numbered list function in Microsoft Word to create reports for their attorney-clients. When you’re creating or editing a list, the handy Tab button allows you to decrease a bullet or drop an outline level (or increase a level if you use Shift-Tab). It’s a fast and furious way to organize your data and your thinking.
