How-To: MS Word - Description for a numbered item

Do you know how to have an unnumbered text in midst of a numbered list?
The problem...

"Apple is a fruit" is a description and not part of the numbered list. But as soon as I press enter after entering "Apple", MS Word automatically numbers the newly inserted line as well.

Let me take off the number by pressing backspace in front of "Apple is a fruit". Oops! the alignment is gone. OK, I can indent or adjust margin using the ruler. Is that the only way? Aren't any easier ways? Yes, there is. Just press, Shift+Enter after any numbered item to add description. Once done, press enter to resume numbered list. Simple!
