Finding "^p" is a paragraph mark or return. If you don't want to merge the end word with the next line's start word then you should replace the paragraph mark with a space.

He means replace the paragraph mark with an actual space rather than leave the replace box empty. See also Replace using wildcards

I think you mean write down ^p in find section and enter empty space by pressing spacebar in replace section
