Indenting Bullets in a Table - Issue

[Rob_P_Martin]

Hi - I'm working on a report and when I try and indent bullets in a table to create sub bullets (usually very simple), it creates a separate table - see below. Struggling to find and disable the automation. Any ideas welcome? Thanks.

Normally, table borders won't be affected by paragraph indents. The lines in your screen shot look more like paragraph borders than table borders. Are you able to share a sample document (in Word format)?

@Stefan_Blom, thanks for the response. Sure - if I can work out how (new to this sorry). What's the best way to post a document?

Click the Reply button and then click Open full text editor (see screen shot below). 

In the next screen, you will find a button to upload an attachment:

@Stefan_Blom hmmm, doesn't give me the upload option in text editor. Will take a look and try and find out why. Thanks for all your help though.

@Rob_P_Martin After clicking on Reply, click on Open full text editor

You will then see the screen as shown in Stefan's response.

@Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP ...thanks, but it doesn't give me the upload option as shown in Stefan's screen shot for some reason. I've checked a few times. I'll look into it.

Are you subscribed to the Community? That maybe a requirement to be able to upload files.

Hello @Rob_P_Martin ,

Tabs in tables behave differently. To insert a lower bulleted list level in a table, you need to use the increase/decrease Indent.

To insert a tabulator in a table, use Ctrl+Tab.

To get rid of the nuisance, look at the Proofing options under File → Options. Also, the table might have the border lines set differently, so instead of the tab inserting a new line, which is its default function, it may insert a new table.

Although what you describe usually happens when you PASTE a table from another document.

From the picture I am not even sure this is a table, but for that the attachment would be needed.

Hope my suggestions help.

Great - will try that. Thanks for your help.
