Yes.  Word allows you to change certain control characters.  As I recall,
the code for the paragraph mark is ^P.  So, select the text, except for the
final paragraph mark, to be converted to a single paragraph, bring up the
change dialog and type ^P (that's caret followed by P) for what to change,
and nothing (or perhaps a space) for the "Change To" thing, and click
"Change Selection."

Good luck,
