This is not a theme related issue.
Please see here first https://en.support.wordpress.com/microsoft-word/ re: copying and pasting from Microsoft WORD.
If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages in a wordpress.COM blog see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/ Specifically see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/#extra-line-breaks
You can also use the pre tag. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-i-get-rid-of-double-word-spacing?replies=21#post-2512371
In the classic editor, if you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph. If you are working in the Text or HTML editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.
Whether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing
http://worldofsciencefictionblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-writing.php
and enable this setting:
Formatting
__ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”IMPORTANT NOTE: 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.

For sure! The trick is to use a custom excerpt instead of an automatic one. Please have a look at how to create a manual/custom excerpt here:
You can add basic HTML to your custom excerpts to format them, such as strong tags for bold, or paragraph tags.
Once you add your custom excerpts, they should be visible on the blog page, or category pages like: https://worldofsciencefictionblog.wordpress.com/category/blog-posts/
