Use the Find and Replace command:
Find: ^l
Replace:

The code for a manual line break is ^l
Replace it with a space

You can do it with the replace operation Edit -> Replace. The special character you need to remove is manual line break, but some line breaks should be retained. Fortunately, they appear in different rules, the line breaks to be retained are always two together, but the line breaks to be removed is only one.

So your file can be processed with three replace operations:

Step 1. Replace the double line breaks with a temporary unique character such as '@@'.

Step 2. Remove all line breaks - replace them with nothing.

Step 3. Replace '@@' with double breaks.

I have attached the processed file.
