Shift+Enter gives you a line break.

Thanks but when you are using bullet points and you use Shift + Enter, an automatic bullet does not appear. Is there any way around this?

There is no way around this. Except if you create manual (non-automatic, pure text) lists.

This is what I thought you wanted. Shift+Enter allows you to continue the thought or idea of that bullet point without starting a new one.

Bullets are paragraph formatting.

If you just want to reduce the spacing between bulleted items, you will have to decrease the values for Line Spacing and Spacing Before/After (Paragraph dialog box).

If you have set up a bulleted style, you can easily change these settings in the style itself (via the Modify Style dialog box).

Thank You. It worked. That's what I wanted.

I wanted to start my bullet point text (the text that follows the bullet icon) to start on new line. Shift+Enter is what it gives.
