To do this I wish to do the following:

1. Find all instances of 2 successive newlines and replace them with a
tab.
2. Now find all other instances of a newline and replace them with a
space.
3. Finally replace the tab stops with 2 newlines.

Simple enough under (pardon my language) MS Word. How the heck do I do
this under OpenOffice?

You might find IannzFindReplace macro to be helpful, available here:
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/
"This is a custom Find and Replace macro that uses regular expressions but can include up to 9 paragraphs and manual page breaks in the search criteria."

I haven't used it myself, but Ian's macros are quite good.
