This updated script should match your file:

Code:
/Operator\r$/{
N
s/Owner and Operator\r\nGuide /Installation Guide\
/
}

You need the \r in the address regex as well. Try: /Operator\r$/

Thanks, all, just wanted to close the loop on this as Chubler_XL's updated script now works:
Code:
/Operator\r/{
N
s/Owner and Operator\r\nGuide /Installation Guide\
/
}

the hex version of carriage return also works:
Code:
/Operator\x0d/{
N
s/Owner and Operator\x0d\nGuide /Installation Guide\
/
}

producing the output text
Code:
Consult Section 3.1 in the Installation Guide
for a description of the tape drives
available on your system.

Thank you all!
