Word does this using ^l and ^p in the search and replace fields.
My coding experience is that LO/OO uses:-
- (U+000A) LF for a newline
- (U+000D) CR for a new paragraph
- (U+000C) FF for a new page
Thus, easy enough to search/replace from Basic, but I’m unsure how they would be expressed within the program to search/replace, or indeed whether it is even possible.

Check out http://guide2office.com/1170/replace-paragraph-marks-carriage-returns-in-5-steps/ and LibreOffice help on regular expressions. As a novice I’ve found the AltSearch extension mentioned on that site is a bit easier to use (it is available as a LibreOffice extension, http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/alternative-dialog-find-replace-for-writer )
This worked for me.
Go to Edit > Find & Replace. Turn on ‘Regular expressions’.
Search for \n. Replace with \n. (Same thing).
This replaces carriage return with a normal paragraph mark.
This does work. For more information:
