Backspace doesn't control indent
Hi, I'm having this weird issue where Word won't let me remove an indent using backspace in certain scenarios. I have the "set left and first indent with tabs and backspaces" option turned on under ...
Tabbing and backspacing won't work for very first level 1 paragraph in a multilevel list. In fact, there is a big chance that you will break the indents for the whole list.
As Doug wrote, the long-term solution, to ensure that you get a stable list, is to set it up so that each level is associated with a unique paragraph style. See https://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html.
