Go to Word-->Preferences-->Edit. Click the box that says, "Tab and backspace set left indent."

That should do it.

If by this you mean, you're trying to use Bullets and Numbering, and after hitting Enter, you want to "Tab" to the next character or actually tab backwards to the previous one:

1. Go to Word
2. Go to Preferences
3. Go to Edit
4. Check the box "Tabs and backspace set left indent".

Now when you hit Tab, the next symbol will show up.
To Tab backwards, press the shift + tab or delete.

Hope this helps.

No, that's not what he meant, and what you say is completely wrong.

I think you may have misunderstood how that setting works.

Hey, I'm having the same problem. When I look for tabs and backspace left indent in edit, it's not there. There is no tabs and backspace left indent. I have a office 2011 for mac. Please help!

Go into word > Preferences > Auto correct > Auto Format as you type > tick the box that says tabs and backspace set left indent. It worked for me
