When you say you get "two spaces," do you mean two paragraphs? An "empty paragraph" that leads to a blank line, or do you mean that in BookView, you see an empty blank line between paragraphs?
You can try pasting directly from Word to BookView in Sigil, but it doesn't work that fabulously. What you will get are opening and closing Office namespace tags that look like this: <o
> </o
> in every single paragraph. If you used styles to create any italics, bold, etc., you'll also get spans inside the paragraphs. To manage all this, you'll need to work with CSS to get the look and feel you really want.
For example, if you only mean that in BookView you see a blank line, where you think one should not be, it likely means that Sigil is using the
default paragraph styling, which gives the impression of a blank line between paragraphs, but is not really there. If you have the paragraph styles named, you can easily find the styling in the stylesheet and fix (either the top or bottom) margin for the paragraph, so that you no longer have that illusion. Do you understand what I mean?
