If your original document contained multiple lines and you have been
removing text from the lines instead of removing the lines themselves then
yes you will have a lot of empty paragraphs. You can use replace to remove
empty paragraphs eg replace
^13{1,}
with
^p
with the wildcard option set
Styles will not affect empty paragraphs, but they can now be used to format
the text in thge layout you require.

Hi...
Hope I'm in the right place...
I have written a large macro that takes a 20 page Word document
(software generated), gets rid of the information that is not needed
and pares it down to a one or two page document.
Problem is with all the changes made to the document what's left is
not pretty. The document consists of tables and single line
paragraphs and between each various amounts of empty space (lines).
I asked the macro experts if they could help... but to a person,
they all suggested applying Styles.
SO.... how could I create and apply a style to space everything on
the page evenly (i.e. one space ONLY between ALL objects (paragraphs
and tables) on the page)?
I am completely new to this concept... so be patient....
Thanking you in advance...
