I spend a large portion of my day typing in Microsoft Word. One thing I have never figured out is how to add a note in the middle of a bulleted or numbered list. Normally I would turn of the list and waste some time messing around with it. Well here is a cool little tip that can make adding a break within a list so much easier.

Instead of turning off the list, simply press Shift + Enter. Normally after you have typed in a list item you would press Enter and another bullet or number will automatically appear. To insert the break, press Shift + Enter after typing in your list item. A break will appear where you can type in your note. Then press Enter again and the numbered or bulleted list will continue. How nifty is that?
