Hi Ads -
If I understand your question, the first step is to *not* press the return
key twice at the end of a paragraph. One way to help put it in perspective
is to think from a different direction... Pressing return doesn't denote the
end of a paragraph, it denotes the _beginning_ of new one.
As long as you don't have "empty" paragraphs separating those that do
contain text you can use Format>Paragraph - Space Before/Space After to
control the spacing between paragraphs without causing a change in line
spacing. It's preferable to do so by including the setting as a part of a
paragraph style rather than as direct formatting.
If you're not familiar with the use of styles you'll find some excellent
suggestions included in Ben Word to Your Will which you can download from:

The work also provides a considerable amount of other useful - make that
"invaluable" - info.
