Example ODT file containing Shift+Enter line breaks

According to the help files, Shift+Enter inserts a line break without making a
new paragraph.  I use this feature a lot, often for a few short items when I
don't want to use a bullet list.

However I found out that if I export an ODT file containing such line breaks to
TXT format on Windows, I get text files with mixed LF and CR+LF line breaks. 
The normal - with new paragraphs - line breaks export to the expected Windows
CR+LF line breaks, while the Shift+Enter line breaks export to LF-only line
breaks.

This is problematic because notepad.exe doesn't recognize LF-only line breaks,
and as a result my list of short items all end up in one single line when
viewed in Notepad.

This most likely doesn't affect Linux as it uses LF line breaks only.  I'm not
sure what the behavior is on Mac.
