microsoft word - Pressing tab to indent a list moves to the next table cell

I have a list (e.g., a bulleted list) in Microsoft Word. This list is inside a table cell. When I press Tab to increase the indent, rather than increasing the indent, it moves the cursor to the next cell. When I try Ctrl+Tab, it just inserts a tab character without changing the indentation of the bullet (paragraph).

How can I turn this off, so it does not go to the next cell but rather just indents the list?

Answer

Shift+Alt+Right Arrow Key will demote your bullet inside a table, whilst Shift+Alt+Left Arrow Key will promote your bullet.
