With MS Word, you can search for "^p" which is the manual line break character. I usually replace with a space, so that this:

<p>It was a dark
and stormy night.</p>
<p>A shot rang out.</p>

becomes this:

<p>It was a dark and stormy night.</p> <p>A shot rang out.</p>

Then you can search and replace </p> with a ^p to get:

<p>It was a dark and stormy night.
<p>A shot rang out.

And replace the <p> markers with nothing to finish cleaning up.

The only drawback is if you are converting a file that has no specific end of line marker such as </p> in html. Attempting to convert any badly formatted plain text is a pain no matter what.
That's cool.

Might I suggest autounbreak. It does exactly what you just described automatically and it's free. Just cut and paste the texts and it will unbreak for you.

Also, check out my other thread about the best pdf to whatever converter I have ever seen.
