This modified version of Join Paragraph should work:

Find: ([[:alpha:],”*])</p>\s*<p\b[^>]*>
Replace: \1

Note that there needs to be a space after \1.

I scanned through this thread and did not see a solution for this, but I am tryhing to find words in all capitals in my epub. For example: <p class="calibre1">I drove under a sign that said THE MAGNOLIA RANCH.</p> Is there a Regex for finding words with more than one letter in all caps?

[[:upper:]]{2,}

aren't the outer brackets supposed to be curved?

It works fine with my Sigil 7.1. version. Are you sure that you've selected the regex mode?
If all else fails, you could simply buy the book.

No, [[:upper:]] is a POSIX character class and the two curly brackets after it specify 2 or more occurrences.
Of course, you'll also need to add two additional curved brackets around the Regex to define the backreference.

Another possibility:

[A-Z][A-Z]+

I ended up using a combination of both suggestions: [A-Z]{2,}

Thanks so much.
