If there are only 1 or 2 manual page breaks to be removed you can handle each one individually. First, turn on the non-printing characters (¶) if they aren't already displayed.

I have a 1700 KB document on my PC that was created elsewhere using WordPad. It has an rtf extension. The problem is that most of the lines have line breaks at about column 45. I think they're called line breaks anyway - they display in OOW as the backwards P. I'm using OO 4.0.1 and I remember there was a way to eliminate these line breaks while retaining the paragraph breaks, but I seem unable to get it to work using some old notes.
I open the document using OpenOffice, go into Edit, Find & Replace, enter n in the Search For field, a space in Replace With field, click on More Options, put a check mark in Regular Expressions and click on the Find box. I always get 'Search key not found'. What might be the problem? Manually removing these breaks is something I do not have the time to do....
