This is seriously cracking me up. Take a look at the two headings here. 2.1 and 2.2.
As you can see, There is a large gap at the top of 2.1 (I want this.) and a small gap at the top of 2.2 (I DONT WANT THIS). If I add an extra line break at the top of 2.2, the gap is way too big. I've highlighted all the text in the document and formatted it in exactly the same way. 1.5 line spacing, justified. Why is it that the line breaks seem to be different sizes?

Rep for any good help.
What version of Word are you using?
I've got 2007 and it's kinda freaky; I've found that mine does it too. I don't think you can just set the line spacing to be the same - you need to go to "Format > Paragraph" (having selected it all) and tinker with the paragraph spacing options. I think there's one that says something about not adding spacing after paragraphs - that might be it. If in doubt, save first and check the Preview pane before clicking OK!

Hope this helps.
Legend! The "space after" setting was blank in some paragraphs, but 10pt in others. Who knows why!
Turn on the invisible formatting marks. You might have 2 different types of returns in there. The first return is shift+return The second is just return
Out of curiousity (sp?!?!), are you in 'Normal' or 'No Spacing' in the top right bit? (Under the Home tab I believe).
It seems as if I'm in "Normal" now - though I may have now overridden that section because I did Ctrl + A, selected paragraph, and set the after-paragraph spacing to 6pt. Thanks for your help too!

Well yeah, no spacing is where you want to be, but by doing a Ctrl + A shouldn't have affected that sort of stuff? Oh well, it probably does.
