Microsoft Word '10: Outline Numbering Help

[Jerry31x]

Hello all,



I am having a very frustrating issue currently. Up until about a week ago, I was able to choose the outline option, and whenever I was creating an outline, I could press "Tab," which would move over how ever many spaces to the right, and it would also change the level of the outline. i.e. Instead of A: it would change to i: and be indented to the right.

Now for whatever reason, all of a sudden, whenever I "Tab," the cursor moves over to the right, but it does not automatically insert the new character for that level. It's a huge pain and I've searched and searched and I just cannot find an answer. Some of this may have to do with the fact that I'm not the most tech savvy person out there! It's probably a super easy fix, could someone please help me out here?
