the tab key deletes selected words instead of indenting them

How can I stop the tab key from deleting selected words when I want to indent
the selection(s)? I erroneously clicked on something in a shortcut menu that
started the tab key doing this (deletion) and now I can't find that option
again.

G'Day Fruitti,

Tools>Autocorrect Options ...
Autoformat As You Type (tab)
Automatically as you type (section at bottom)
Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspace (CHECK the box)
