I'll try an explain myself again
I receive this:

Twas Brillig¶
And the slithy toves¶
Did gyre and gimble¶
In the wabe¶

I want this:

Twas Brillig»
And the slithy toves»
Did gyre and gimble»
In the wabe¶

where » is Shift Enter  i.e. a newline within a paragraph
Replace  \n with \n  converts from newline to paragraph
I want to go the other way!
Nothing to do with styles.

Having selected some text
(several one line paragraphs)
Can anyone tell me how to convert this into
one paragraph with several newlines?
Use the regex tool in Find/Replace.
   1. Open Find/Replace
   2. Select the block of text that needs changing
   3. Checkmark Regex box
   4. Checkmark Current Selection
   5. Enter $ (paragraph break) in Find field
   6. Enter a space in the Replace field
   7. Click Replace all

Enable View > Non-printing characters so you can see them.
If you want the same format for all of the lines, you should use styles. If they are all given the same style, they will look the same. Not only that, but if you change the characteristice of that style, all the lines will change the exact same way.
