Word 2007--Bullet point indent problems

[Zach Evans]

I'm using Word 2007 and when using bullet points, I need to be able to hit
"TAB" to get an indented bullet (or sub-bullet) and I need to be able to hit
"SHIFT-TAB" to decrease the indent. This function used to work, but all of
the sudden it went away. I know that I can use the increase/decrease indent
buttons within the paragraph section toolbar, but the keystroke shortcut is
much more convenient.

Can someone please help me with this issue?
