there are preset tab stops in the paragraph.

default tab stops. If other tab stop positions have been defined in the
paragraph, the Tab As Indent feature is disabled.
WORKAROUND
To set a first line indent, click Paragraph on the Format menu.
MORE INFORMATION
To use the Tab As Indent feature, select the "Use Tab And Backspace Keys To
Set Left Indent" option ("Tabs And Backspace Set Left Indent" in Word 97).

Edit tab.) This option is turned on by default.
