Bullet problem when trying to indent a bullet

[Kat]

I can't seem to figure out what I did!

When I use a bullet on my document, and want the bullet underneath it to be
tabbed (indented) in, the bullet will not move, but the CURSOR will tab
(indent) in but leaving the bullet in its original position at the left
margin.

This occured spontaneously one day, so I assume I did a key stroke sequence
to cause it, but have no clue where to go to correct it (and i've tried!).

Any help is appreciated because manually clicking on the "increase indent"
button is really annoying every time I want to tab in a bullet.
