Do it this way... Type 1. <SPACE...not TAB> Question, then hit Enter and Word will put 2. in there...NOW hit Tab and Word will indent and change the 2. to an a. Type your first possible answer and hit Enter and Word will drop to the next line and give you b. Do this for all four answers, then hit Enter and Word will give you e. When you see the e., hold down your shift key and hit the Tab key and Word will move you back to the left and give you a 2. Tab moves you in one level AFTER you have hit Enter Shift+Tab moves you back one level to the left AFTER you hit Enter. When you are done all your numbering, hit Enter and THEN click on the numbering button on your toolbar to turn the numbering off (or simply hit Enter twice) Linda F.
