Did a little searching and \n matches the type of line break you get 
with a shift+enter.
I think what you are looking for is to replace a paragraph end which is 
just $ on the search line by itself.

So in libre/open office go to edit-> find/replace, then click on more 
options and select "regular expressions".  Then in the "search for" 
field put a $ all by itself and on the "replace with" field put a space.
Then just click "replace all" and it will make everything continuous and 
word wrap on the page naturally.
