I can't find a way to Find and Replace non-printing characters, like paragraph end or line feed.
It's not in Format, or any other window I could find. In fact, if I click on Format, the next window is all greyed out.
Is this missing from OO?

You need to enable regular expressions in the "Find and Replace" dialog. For a line-end, use $ in the search field. For a line feed, use the Unicode entry in the format \x0012 (or whatever the hex code for that control is.) For a space, use \x0020. There are special characters provided, such as "[:space:]?", but read the help file carefully; these things are difficult to use correctly, but they do work. Check the help file for "List of regular expressions." (Oh, and before you ask, ^$ finds only empty paragraphs; $ finds all line ends.
