Works on my computer.

Tools->AutoCorrect->While Typing

Tools->AutoCorrect->AutoCorrect Options
[Options] Tab -> Bulleted and Numbered list: Bullet Symbol: *
[Options] Tab -> Replace bullets with: * 

All the above should be checked.

and before the paragraph break I had to input something following an asterisk and a space to make it work.

Oh that's weird, wonder why I had that autocorrect option disabled - sorry!
