The problem I encountered was that the paragraph breaks was replaced

"Regular expressions" were ticked or not. I got the same result when
trying to replace with \x09: The paragraph breaks were replaced with
the characters "\x09", not the [tab] character.
But maybe that's only me, I am not the OP, so feel free to ignore this.
Weirdly that's true: if you search for $ on its own, you can replace the
paragraph breaks with something else. The problem is then only that
"\t" in the "Replace with" box is interpreted as text instead of a
regular expression. (Surely that's wrong?) But you've found the
solution. (I spotted this part but didn't latch on to its significance.)
AH yes, that was the only thing that I did not write in my original
post. Sorry for that.
With "Regular expressions" ticked, first search for $ and replace with a
character or string that does not occur in your document - perhaps a
hash mark? Then repeat the search (still with "Regular expressions"
ticked), this time searching for # and replacing with \t.
Of course I used this workaround.
But I wondered if I did something wrong, or missed some special trick to
replace $ with a <tab> in one run.
Sorry for previous distraction. I trust this helps.
No problem of course. Thanks to you & all for the replies.
I think this is worth a bug report/request for enhancement.
Cheers,
