List Level Inconsistency

[Stu]

Yo,

For a while I've been having trouble with doing lists my way, so I went into
auto-correct and (more or less) turned everything off, instead I got another
problem.

I would start a list, do bullet point, go down, hit tab to indent the point
below it, put my point. Hit enter, hit shift+tab would remove the third point
out of indent, and I'd be on my jolly way. Now, according to this situation,
my third point when hitting shift+tab will no longer un-indent my point.

I went into list levels, and for my indented points, it said they were at
the least indented level, as for my non-indented points, they were also on
the first (least) level of indentation. What is going on here?

On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options, make sure
you have "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces" checked.
