I have just performed a format and a reinstallation of my OS (XP Pro) in
order to install XP SP2 cleanly. I have reinstalled Office 2003 and I have
noticed something. Prior to installing Office SP1, the auto-correct
auto-formatting (auto-bullet, auto-table, etc) worked as it should, after it
doesn't work at all. I use the others sparsely, but I use auto-bullet most
of all.

Obviously you know how auto-bullet's supposed to work - type the first
numbered/lettered point, tab, then the point, and hit enter and Word will
copy the formatting for the next point in the list. Well that's not
happening. When I've entered the first point, and hit enter, nothing
happens. Word acts as though I'm not typing a bulletted list at all. I've
double checked the auto-correct settings and auto-bullet is checked. I have
tried turning it off and on again, but that doesn't fix it. The only thing
that does is removing SP1 (which I've had to do for the time being).

Is there a solution to this?

If you need any more info, just ask. Oh and could you please email me as I
probably won't be able to find this group again because I'm stupid (just
kidding, but I've seen this sort of thing so often these last few days it's
*really* beginning to irritate me!)
