I just need something like this.
A space between the paragraphs. That they're block-style is fine. (Or if you know of a way to preserve indentations then I wouldn't need the line-space.)
I just don't want to have to go into FB or G+ and separate all the paragraphs all the time.
There's gotta be something that can do it, right? Thx.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. If you mean, is there some magic thing that will create an empty paragraph between two paragraphs that do NOT have an empty paragraph between them (the enter key) in Word, and make same appear in Google+/FB, the answer is, NO. If you simply copy and paste block-style paras that have an extra blank line (enter) between them, that's preserved in G/FB. However, if you've used styles to create vertical spacing for block-style, or you have first-line-ident, then you will have to do something ELSE to make that happen.
The simplest thing I can think of is to take your source material, copy it (assuming that's needed) and simply search-and-replace ^p with ^p^p. That will create a blank line between paragraphs which you can then copy and paste. But, crap, why on earth are you composing FB or G+ posts in
WORD? I mean, we're only talking a few hundred words here, really.
OTOH, you could do what I do; I use markdown in an HTML editor when I need a markdown-aided post for whatever reason (as I've mentioned, both my customer service system and my project management system use markdown--two different flavors, which means different markdown in each). Then you'd have to use the "enter" key and it wouldn't be an issue.
Your flavor, your choice.
