The document has complex multi-line records which happen to have a '—' in the last line of each record. Having flagged the last line feed of each record with xxxx, all line feeds will be replaced with tabs and then the xxxx replaced with a line feed.

[X] Regular expression

Or just paste an em dash into the search expression (in place of the \x97).

Just to correct my original post, I will have to replace xxxx\t with the \n after converting all the line feeds to tabs.
