In Word, if you set a bullet or item number in a paragraph, Word automatically applies the bullet or item number format to the next line when you press Enter after a paragraph. At this point, press the "Backspace" key or press the "enter" Key 2 times to delete the automatically applied bullets and AutoNumber formats.
