To remove the extra paragraph marks (hard returns) in your Word document, you can use the Find and Replace feature. Here’s how:

Save a copy of your Word document to ensure you have a backup.
Position the cursor at the beginning of the document where you want to start the replacement.
Click the Home tab in the Ribbon.
Click Replace in the Editing group or press Ctrl + H to open the Replace dialog box.
Click More >> to expand the dialog box (if necessary).
In the Find what box, type ^p^p (which represents two paragraph marks).
Leave the Replace with box empty (delete any existing content).
Click Find Next to locate the first instance of the double paragraph mark.
Click Replace to replace it with a single paragraph mark.
Click Find Next to move to the next instance, and repeat the process until you’ve replaced all the extra paragraph marks.
If you want to remove all instances of double paragraph marks and replace them with a single paragraph mark, click Replace All.

You don't need to press enter space you can just leave it empty. This way you don't have double space all over.
