Replace double-paragraphs

I have been using the script below to find and replace double-paragraph signs. It works ok, with an exception.

For some reason, it won't work with Quora.com pages. For example, please go to the address below and select & copy all the "Related Questions" text at the bottom of the page...

What makes you buy an Apple product? - Quora

Then paste this content to a Word document, and finally run this script...

Code:

With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
    .Execute FindText:="^p^p", ReplaceWith:="^p", Wrap:=wdFindStop, Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With

You will see that although the pasted text contains lots of double-paragraphs, the script fails to replace them with a single paragraph mark, as it should.

Any idea how I could make it work, please?

Thank you!

Alex
