Yes. Word allows you to change certain control characters. As I recall, the code for the paragraph mark is ^P. So, select the text, except for the final paragraph mark, to be converted to a single paragraph, bring up the change dialog and type ^P (that's caret followed by P) for what to change, and nothing (or perhaps a space) for the "Change To" thing, and click "Change Selection."
