   Okay – I’m on the other side of this. I need (actually, my boss wants) the bullets to align with the left margin. I showed her how to do it manually (using the “decrease indent” button and also by clicking on the bullet dropdown and choosing “define new bullet” before you start your list.)

   Well, she doesn’t want to do it that way. She wants to default the bullet to “not indent” each time she hits the bullet button. Please, Please, Please tell me there is a way to do this…

   thanks a lot for this, anyone know how to prevent the new office from reformatting your entire document when you change something.

   when I bold something, it bolds everything in the document and I have to revert it…it’s very annoying

    Thanks man, I had apparently stripped those options out of frustration doing something else, then had no idea how to get them back on. (Other than doing a google search, of course)

    Nick:

    Thank you! I use Vi and Eclipse most of the time. But though I have to use Word, I don’t think I need to know every nook and cranny of Word. You’d think the built in help would contain a cross reference to anything related in the options settings. How hard could that be? Better yet, have its defaults to match prior Word versions.

    Thanks so much!!

    One of the things I hate about Word 2007 is that it take out so many useful things that used to work in Word 2003. I don’t know why they turn it off by default. But good that you found out how to enable it again!

    I dont usually comment, but this started happening today to me and I had to type up 100 items in a numbered list and each one had a sub list. I would have probably gone crazy if I had to click that stupid indent button every time. I dont know why MS broke this feature, but thanks for having the solution.

    Thank you! I was going crazy trying to take notes for class. I appreciate you taking the time to post step by step instructions and pictures! I have no clue why this functionality is automatically off… it is so helpful to not have to move my hand and use the mouse in the middle of trying to take notes quickly (or anytime I am using lists!)

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post these solutions.
