Thank you for CPHennessy for the tip to look for Regular Expressions.
With these keywords I could search the Internet and get more details about replacing Tab, paragraph mark, etc. I failed to find this information under OOo help... neither 'finding' nor 'replacing' keywords mentioned that this task should be handled with 'regular expression'.
