If I want an "empty new line" WITHOUT changing the level I'm on, and 
without giving a "bullet or number" to that empty line, then I create 
the empty line by typing [ctrl]-[enter] at the end of the previous line.

Also, in the Formatting toolbar, the "Decrease Indent" (or 
[ctrl]-[alt]-[left arrow]) and "Increase Indent" (or [ctrl]-[alt]-[right 
arrow]) icons are helpful.

Hope this helps,
