Dear Developers,
We (translators) have a special need that OOo does not cover (yet). When converting a PDF file into text to import it to any CAT tool (OmegaT, for example) we need to fix the sentences first because of the original PDF formatting breaks the sentence in segments (in lines following the original format in PDF).

The easy way to do this is replacing the paragraph symbols at the end of each sentence (due to convertion from PDF format) with space, so we will have a sentence from the first letter to the final period.
Can this request be inserted in the "feature list"?
Thank you.

please select your sentences and then do "Format/AutoFormat/Apply".

There is an AutoFormat option "Combine single line paragraphs if length greater than 50%" which has to checked under Tools/AutoCorrect/Options.
The value 50% can be adjusted to your needs.
Give it a try...
Regards
        Andreas
