In the HTML editor, remove all of the font tags.

Thanks, that did it. (There were <span style=... tags around each paragraph.) But why were they there in the first place?

Text that's copy-pasted into the post editor has its formatting preserved by default.

Note for others: some browsers (like Chrome) give a 'Paste as Plain Text" option to help with this. Just right-click and select that option rather than 'paste'. Presumably it works in this editor, too, but I haven't tried it.
