True, but what's your new indentation? I don't have a Windows machine 
running right now, but I think the shift+enter will insert a vertical 
tab, so when you start typing the text will be indented under the text 
above it and to the right of the numbers. This will be the same if you 
press enter and then backspace.

If you want the new text to be flush left then hit the enter key and 
then backspace three times.

I'm not sure about the shift+enter, so please check that out. I'm pretty 
confident about the rest though.
