Multi-layer list doesn't - Word 2007

I am creating a Document in Word 2007.
I have bullet points 1 to 4. In point 4 I wish to create sub-points. I click
on Multi-list in the paragraph section, and choose the format of the
sub-list.
I can't get the sub-lists to start - what am I not doing? If I hit "return"
I don't get the first point in the sub-list (ie 4.1) I get the next point as
5.
help!
 
You can use Alt+Shift+Right arrow to change to a lower list level. (And,
conversely, use Alt+Shift+Left arrow to promote the numbering level.)

Found it - not very intuitive, is it?
 
There are several other ways to Promote/Demote, but the assumption (in every
version of Word) is that you want to continue at the same level until you
take specific action to change the level.

But note (which I recently did) that in Word 2007, if you press Enter
multiple times in a numbered list (without typing any text), the numbering
will be promoted until the top-level is reached, and then at the top level
the numbering will be removed. Of course, this doesn't work if numbering is
attached to styles and a different "Style for following paragraph" is
specified.
