Ah -- don't worry about it. I think I got is sussed out.

While this would only be of interest to idiots like me struggling with this, I'll still put it down in case some other clueless individual finds this thread. I was using OpenOffice's add in Alternative Searching in order to get rid of extraneous paragraph feeds. The problem is that's it's pretty non-standard in how it refers to things (there are three different ways to refer to a paragraph, for example, among them end of paragraph and empty paragraph, both listed BEFORE just plain ole paragraph).

The bottom line is that as long as I made sure each paragraph had a paragraph tag (in OO Alternative searching it's a /p and represented on screen by the typographers big "P" with double ll on it) and then checkmarked "remove paragraph" with a proper indent in Calibre's conversion I end up with what I want.

Phew!
