I cannot tab anymore the text inside lists. Every time I press the tab on my keyboard to insert the tab character, instead of doing so, it deletes all the text on the same line I wish to insert Tab. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is this how it's supposed to be?

Make sure **Insert** is not on. – Molx Mar 31 '15 at 14:03

@Molx - I have Word 2010, and I can't replicate the issue erotavlas is having, whether Insert is on or off. – Kelly Tessena Keck Mar 31 '15 at 14:32

@KellyTessenaKeck, I honestly suggested without testing because Insert is a common source of this behaviour, but couldn't replicate it either. – Molx Mar 31 '15 at 14:56

After some testing, I could partially replicate using Ctrl + Tab (which is how you would add a tab, otherwise you change the list idendation) with Insert on. But it only deletes the first character, not the entire line. – Molx Mar 31 '15 at 15:03

I had this problem, too, and I found the answer [here](https://superuser.com/questions/387262/microsoft-word-when-i-hit-tab-it-no-longer-indents-the-bullet-point-in-a-list). – Alex Nov 20 '19 at 12:26

I had the same issue which I tracked down to a hidden style (for some reason Word switched to it when I pressed in a bulleted list).
I fixed it by opening styles (<ctrl><alt><shift>+s), and deleting hidden style.
Not sure what exactly the root cause was, but I hope this helps someone else.
