Honorato - I missed seeing your message. I think you can do what you want using the Alternative Find & Replace extension (https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/alternative-dialog-find-replace-for-writer). As described at http://macrojtb.hys.cz/HelpAltSearch_en.html, specify \m to find manual page breaks and specify \r (in the Replace field) to remove them.
