Formatting that ignores paragraph return?

[davidquaay]

I wonder if I'm missing something obvious. I'm trying to copy a Word document into a WordPress page. By default, WordPress seems to add a doublespace for each paragraph return, as if two returns were entered instead of one. For an occasional line, entering a line break by typing shift+return isn't that much trouble. But this is a Word table. The results ... and they're very, very ugly, are at: http://naminc.org/index.php/test/ On the second row of listings, I've gone in and entered a soft return instead of a paragraph return to achieve the desired result.

I've tried saving the Word document as a web page and pasting the source code with the same results. The actual page generated when the Word document is saved as a web page is at http://naminc.org/afinfo.html and that's more or less the spacing I'm after. I really need the copy and paste functionality though since this is for a user with next to no experience. It may be that I have to create an html page, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Don't know if there is a new text format I could create to handle it or something else. Suggestions appreciated.
