Hi Eric, there are a couple of ways that I use to do that sort of thing when I use bullet or 
alphanumeric lists that you can also use with what you call your block outline style.

The first, for occasional use, is to use a soft return using Shift+Enter. This just gives a new 
line without quitting the existing paragraph.

Second solution which is worth implementing if you do lots of that stuff, is to create different 
styles. I have a 'list1' style for the first item in a list to give additional headspace. 
'ListCont' style for all the following list items with close spacing. 'ListEnd' style for the last 
item to provide a little extra space after the last entry and before the regular 'text body' style.
