page layout

I am writing a research paper. I am using double spacing between lines and paragraphs, but between some paragraphs, there are multiple lines. How can I fix this? I've tried highlighting the whole document, and formatting double spacing, but between some paragraphs there is no highlighting, so it won't go to double spacing.HELP!

If you have pressed enter twice (or more) to create paragraph spacing
(instead of adding the space to the paragraph style) then a wildcard search
for
[^13]{2,}
replace with
^p
will remove the extra empty lines.

Also make sure that the vertical alignment (Layout tab of Page Setup) is set
to Top and not Justified.
