    Extra lines inserted between paragraphs

    We are getting two extra lines inserted between paragraphs, whether the paste is text from a Web page into the Normal pane or code into the HTML pane. The extra lines are being inserted by the editor when I switch from one pane to another.

     What appears to be happening is, the editor is replacing each <p> and </p> tag at the beginning and end of paragraphs with <p> </p>. Since every paragraph begins with a <p> and ends with </p> and it performs the substitution for each, you get two blank lines inserted. Here's a sample of the code; I highlighted the parts that get replaced:
     
    <p><li CLASS="cntTxt01"><b>59½ in Service</b> - You can withdraw funds from your account while still employed once you have reached age 59½. The amount you can withdraw is subject to your plan's rules. <A href="microsite.aspx?page=contact">Talk to your benefits office</a> for details.</p>
                <p><li CLASS="cntTxt01"><b>90-24 Transfer</b> - You can directly transfer your account funds from one financial provider to another, either under your employer's retirement plan or if you meet an IRS-defined "triggering event." This transfer is not considered a taxable distribution.</p>
     

    For some reason it does not do that for paragraphs that do not have a </p> between them, just a standalone <p>.
     
    How can we stop this from happening ??
