Tabbing Problem ?

[Robert11]

Hello:

Using MS WORD 2002.

Will try and describe what's driving me crazy, but apologize if I'm not all
that clear on it.

Sometimes, but not everywhere in a document I'm creating, if I go back to
change something,
the following happens:

If I have some text in a line that ends, I put my cursor at the end of the
sentence.
I then press TAB, wanting to go to the next tab position in the line.

But rather than tabbing to the next tab (there's plenty of remaining room on
the line), it goes to the Next line.

Any idea what i may have clicked in options, or whatever, that is preventing
me from just tabbing over ?

Thanks,
Bob

Is this a table that you're working in by any chance?

If you're indeed using a table, you need to depress the CTRL key when
you tab.
