Format the style that you are using for the paragraphs so that it has 12 pts
space after it.

Every time you press enter in Word a new paragraph is created. If you do
not want to create a new paragraph, don't press enter.

Word is a lot more than a typewriter on which is was necessary to use the
carriage return when you got to the end of the line. With Word all you have
to do is keep typing until you reach the end of the text that you want in
the paragraph and then press enter.
