And one more, which is probably not well known:

Put the cursor anywhere in the paragraph and press Alt+Shift+arrow key (up
or down).

But note that these shortcuts are safer in Outline view (because they might
lead to unexpected results if headings have been collapsed in Outline view,
even if you use the shortcuts in Print Layout view).
 
It might very well be documented, but Help is not very useful in recent
versions of Word. This is especially true when you search Help: many
irrelevant matches are returned. :-(
 
Is it the shortcut you want documented or the use in outline view? If the
latter, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingOLView.htm. If the
former, there's a list (not very helpfully arranged) of all keyboard
shortcuts at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290938. A more helpful
categorization (similar to what is offered in Word 2003 Help) is at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211982 (this is very exhaustive and even
includes shortcuts that are not in Help).
