This Formatting Mark at the End of Each Line, and No New Paragraphs

I’m having some trouble editing an old document because this mark…

… is at the end of each line, but there are no paragraph endings. This is causing me problems because most lines are single lines from a written text conversation and it’s preventing me from applying formatting such as new paragraph indents and the like. Can anyone tell me if there’s a name for this mark or a Regular Expression code I can use to replace them with paragraph endings or something? Thanks!

What you have there are Line Breaks which can be inserted in Writer via Shift + Enter.

In Find and Replace, set regular expressions on; in Find put \n, in Replace put \n. This will replace a line break with a paragraph break ¶.
