The easiest thing is to simply type your text, and only hit enter when you want to start a new paragraph -- i.e., let the text flow as it wants to within its parent container, don't try to control the flow of the text by hitting enter.
If you actually want to change the amount of space between paragraphs, use css to change the padding and/or margins, for example:
p {
margin-bottom:0;
}
