Default Smart lists work sometimes (2007)

There is a block of text (10-12 lines) in a Word 2007 document. If I
type "* " on a blank line anywhere before or after those few lines,
Word will convert it to a bulleted list. If I do the exact same thing
anywhere with those lines, it just leaves it as an asterisk and a
space.

The block of text is nothing special. It's 10-12 1-line paragraphs all
set to the normal style.

What the heck could possibly be going on inside that block?
