This article was previously published under Q123482 SYMPTOMS
In PowerPoint 4.0, you cannot use the TAB key to move text to another
outline level.
CAUSE
The TAB key does not work to move text to another level if your current
text does not have bullets. This means that if you format one text level in
the Master Body Text object not to use a bullet, you will not be able to
move to any lower level by using the TAB key. The TAB key will simply move
text to the right without changing its style to match that of the lower
indent level.
RESOLUTION
If you want to have Body Text objects where the First Level Text has no
bullets but the Second and subsequent levels do have bullets, use the
Demote (Indent More) button on the toolbar to move text from the First to
Second indent level.
