  Enable this setting please > Dashboard > Setting > Writing
  Formatting
  __ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically

  I recommend using the classic editor at Dashboard > Posts > Add New

  You can use the “Paste as Text” button but the formatting will be removed.

  Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see:

  P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
