There is no such thing as "spaces" between paragraphs. The thing that displays space between paragraphs is the paragraph attributes "space before" and "space after."

Click in one of your troublesome paragraphs and then click the dialog box launcher in the bottom right of the home tab paragraph group and define the space before and after attibutes to suit your needs.
