Description peterthevicar 2006-09-20 10:38:09 UTC 
Pressing Tab when at the start of a line increments the outline level of the
paragraph, eg from Heading 1 to Heading 2. If the paragraph is the first
paragraph in the document which is part of the outline then the same action
indents all the headings instead of incrementing the outline level. 

To reproduce: create a default document with two lines of Heading 1 text. At
start of 2nd line confirm that Tab moves the text to Heading 2. At start of
first line notice it indents both headings, leaving their heading levels unchanged. 

The relevant entry in the help file says:
To move a numbered or bulleted paragraph down one outline level, click at the
beginning of the paragraph, and then press Tab.

HTH, Peter

MRU->OD: the Numbering/Bullet 1 specification states that the tab key at the
first position of a numbered list should indent the whole list. But IME this is
not useful for Outlines; especially when they are not numbered. So this should
be changed for outline paragraphs.
Comment 2 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2006-09-21 07:38:21 UTC 
As MRU stated above, the described "defect" is indented and specified behavior.
But, I agree that this behavior doesn't make sense for paragraphs, which are
headings and have a numbering style - in this case the outline numbering - applied.
Thus, I propose to change the issue type to "ENHANCEMENT".

I will discuss with MRU and FL the proposed change.
