Bullet format in Word Web App
When I want to decrease the indent, while I'm using a bulleted list, in normal Microsoft Word, I just need to press Enter. But in the Word Web App, pressing Enter removes the bullet and goes to the next line, so each time I need to select the decrease indent button. Is there a way to fix this, please?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel. I'm not seeing the behavior you're describing. When I press Enter at the end of a bulleted list the last bullet along with the indentation is removed, though in the web app we don't insert a new line like the desktop app does. Can you provide detailed steps to reproduce the behavior you're seeing?
Also, in case you weren't aware, you can easily change the indent level using the ALT-SHIFT-LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keyboard shortcuts.

Word Web App seems to behave like older versions of Word when you press Enter at the end of a numbered or bulleted item (without adding text to it). As far as I know, you can't change the behavior.
Michael has already suggested Alt+Shift+Left (right) arrow, but you can also use Tab and Shift+Tab (assuming that the insertion point is at the beginning of a numbered/bulleted paragraph).
