In addition to the other answers, there are toolbar/ribbon buttons for "Decrease Indent" and "Increase Indent".

Oh, and one more - I believe if you hit Enter when on a blank item in your list, it decreases its indentation level as well.

Use Shift+Tab to step back out of the indentation:

Ctrl + M / Ctrl + Shift + M controls the indentation level of your bulletted/numbered lists.

i find if i just press enter twice i get to there?

enter once after "delete P..." to get to "delete M..." then twice to get up another level to where your arrow points

I tried to upvote Bec, as that answer is the best one. Word 2007 multilevel-lists (for all their shortcomings) are slick in their designed use of the Enter key.
