I frequently get documents from other people that I want to cut and paste.
For some reason, many of these documents have a space between their
paragraphs is too large to be single spacing. I cannot remove this space,
however, because it claims to be single spaced. How do I get rid of it, short
of saving it as a text-only document (and losing all formatting) -- the only
way I can presently get rid of this obnoxious formatting.

Most people want some space between paragraphs. It makes things easier to
read.

It is in paragraph formatting, space before or space after.

This is a really bad answer.

Bad it may be, but it is the right answer!
