I don't seem to be able to reproduce your problem. But however
it occurs, there is, I think, a simple workaround. Once you
have created the AutoText with the unwanted trailing newline,
just go back and edit it to remove this:
o Go to Edit | AutoText... and select the appropriate entry.
o From the AutoText drop-down, select Edit. This opens a new
document with just the replacement text.
o Remove the extra newline.
o Close this document and choose the Save option.
Or does this suffer from the same problem as the original
creation?
When I edited the AutoText entry in the document that
AutoText opened, the entry had two paragraph markers.
(Nonprinting characters were ON.) I was able to remove the one on
the following line but not the first one.
But the extra, second paragraph break is the only one you *need* to
remove. You've solved the problem. Really!
No, this does not solve the problem. When I use the AutoText to
enter a word or phrase, the cursor moves to the next line, i.e.,
begins a new paragraph.
Yes, it seems, there's no possibility to solve the problem with
Brian's proposition. I tried it without success.
Now I can reproduce the problem.
Always when I'm selecting
'AutoText' -> 'New (Text only)' -> 'Close'
there's afterwards a paragraph break with <F3>.
Selecting 'AutoText' -> 'New' -> 'Close'
is creating a correct version without break.
Regarding the different functions of 'New (Text only)' and 'New';
IMHO it's necessary to scrutinize resultant problems with styles and
formatting ...
IMHO it seems to be a bug.

Thanks for this. You are quite right. If the user needs to use "New
(text only)" instead of "New" (which I didn't imagine was the case from
the original problem specification), then (1) the problem exists and (2)
my workaround will not help.
So my revised solution is:
o Use "New", not "New (text only)" from the AutoText drop-down menu if
possible.
o If you need to use "New (text only)", invoke the AutoText once,
producing the incorrect result. Then select the result but *without the
erroneous newline*, and return to AutoText to modify the existing entry
using "Replace" (not "Replace (text only)!) from the AutoText drop-down
menu. Since the creation process ("New (text only)") will have stripped
whatever was necessary, you cannot need the "(text only)" function this
time.
After this correction, the AutoText entry will behave as it should.
At long last - there's new Issue 79861 -
'Unwanted line break if "New (text only)" autotext inserted'
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=79861
Maybe you want to vote for it ...
