Since MS Word allows you to search for hard returns with ^p, the easiest solution would be to:

1. Replace all consecutive line-breaks (^p^p) with a dummy character, e.g. ###.
2. Replace all remaining hard line-breaks with spaces.
3. Replace the dummy character (###) with hard line-breaks (^p). (You might have to replace ###### with ### first.)
