I want to totally agree with Allison's instructions below, with one minor
exception. She says to put ^b in the find box and ^m in the replace box for
changing section breaks to page breaks. I'd like to suggest that you change
the ^m to the following string ^p^m^p wich will protect your page numbers
and chapter headings while converting your section breaks to page breaks.
I learned of this nifty little add-on from Mayrie, while I was still a
very newby validator. (See Mayrie, your patience was not in vain, I did
learn something.)

Hi Mary Anne,
It's best to change the section breaks into page breaks. In Word, I do
this
by going to find and replace and typing in ^b in the find box and ^m in
the
replace with box. ^m is the symbol for a page break. Let me know if
that
doesn't quite make sense. *smile*.
Also, you mention that you put page numbers at the bottom of a page with
a
blank line above and below them. This is exactly right. I did want to
let you
know that it's not necessary for you to move page numbers to the bottoms
of
pages if they are at the top. I imagine that would be rather
time-consuming. You may leave them at the top if you like with a blank
line
before and after.
As to font, there isn't a standard set in the volunteer manual. I
usually
change to 12 point and times Roman, but that's just a preference of mine,
not a rule. So if you like Ariel I think that's fine.
Thanks so much for all your work on Bookshare books!
Best,
Allison

Thanks, Cindy. I understand. I've been removing headings and putting
page
numbers at bottom of pages with an empty line above and below them.
I've
noticed that when I save in RTF, each page is separated by a section
break
in MS word, as opposed to a hard page break or soft page break. Should
I
leave the section breaks alone?. I have also changed the font to
something
like Arial 12 and page size to letter .. Is that right? I'm reading
the
books for myself anyway and this is what I would do to make reading
easier
for me. But my page breaks do stay where they fall in the book itself.
