Tab moves user to another application, not text editing

While the cursor is on a slide, pressing Tab (want to indent the next line) I am taken to another application that is open and resident. This is a new situation from the last time the presentation was open. Is there a setting somewhere I have stumbled into? How do I get back to having Tab indent in text editiing

Thanks
Phil
 
What application does it switch to? Maybe that application has reset the
function of the tab key. If you close the application, does the tab key
behave correctly?

Normally, ALT+Tab will cycle you among open applications. It sounds as though
your ALT key is stuck or you're using (advertently or in) the Windows
accessibility feature called StickyKeys that turns Alt, Shift, Ctrl keys into
toggles - push once, they're ON, push again, they're OFF instead of your
having to keep them held down.

See if pressing ALT again solves the problem.
 
I tried what most beginners would do - restarted the computer. It cleared

I should have suggested that as well.
