equivalents to <dd> <dt> in HTML?

I want to set up glossary entries something like this:

* Toast
Cooked bread
* Banana split
Split banana

which is similar to the default display using the <dd> and <dt> tags in
HTML,

How can I do it inside the "autoformating" of Microsoft Word? The problem is
the line break at the end of the entry. If I type a new line after "Toast",
the autoformating puts a new bullet there.

Thanks for any ideas.

Two possibilities

1. Press Shift+Enter (new line instead of new paragraph)

2. Define two STYLES, one including the bullet, the other not. Define the "not"
style first. When defining the "bullet" style, set the "not" style to be the
style for the next paragraph following the "bullet" style.

Thank you for the advice. I'll try 1. for now but keep 2. in mind for later.
 
If you decide on (2), which is closer to the HTML method, you can use the
built-in List Bullet and List Continue styles. To make it easier to
alternate them, make List Continue the "Style for following paragraph" of
List Bullet. List Bullet can be applied with the built-in shortcut
Ctrl+Shift+L.
