Shift+Tab doesn't go to the previous bullet

When I hit Shift+Tab in a bulleted list, it doesn't return to the previous
bullet style.
 
I don't recall that Shift+Tab ever did that... try using the
Backspace key instead. Also:

In Word 97 and 2000, click on Tools | Options | Edit tab | check
the "Tabs and backspace set left indent" box | OK.

In Word 2002 and 2003, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options |
AutoFormat As You Type tab | check the "Set left- and
first-indent with tabs and backspaces" box | OK.
 
Shift+Tab is what I use to promote levels in an outline-numbered list. I
don't think Backspace works for me.
