Find and replace

You'll need two find & replace operations, that is, what you are asking can't be done in a single step.

Even in a macro, two find & replace operations would be required, as far as I can tell. First replace tab characters (^t) with a blank space and then replace paragraph marks (^p) with a blank space. Note that you won't be able to get rid of the very last paragraph mark in a document, because that mark must always be present.
