Maybe they aren't '\n' characters but '\r' characters.
Correction. I tried again, and what you suggested
did work. But the problem is, it removes *all* line
breaks so there are no paragraph breaks. The result
is a continuous string of text tens of thousands of
characters long with no breaks at all.
So how can I eliminate the word-wrap line breaks
but keep the paragraph breaks?
Brian, I had actually tried everything that you suggested
and no joy. It is line breaks (\n) rather than paragraph
end that I am trying to get, because I want the paragraph
ends/breaks to remain. Even so, I did try the paragraph
end ($) and that does not work either.

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.

How to remove line breaks in odt paragraphs?
Searching the 'net turns up no solution that I can get to work.
Some suggested using edit> find and replace to replace "\n" with
a
space after checking "regular expressions" but that did not work
for
me.
Some suggested installing an "altsearch" extension (which was
ridiculously difficult to find). Searching for "altsearch" at the
libre office extensions page does not find it. Eventually I did
find
it (under a different name) and installed it, but it also does
not
work for me. Please refer to this screen capture:
