Evan,
Thank you so much! The replacement with the paragraph breaks did the trick.
I owe you a sandwich.

This is not that difficult. You should have done the second suggestion
first; that is, replaced the section break ^b with the page break ^m, or
probably better, replaced the section break ^b with a page break surrounded
by hard returns, ^p^m^p.
It's really as simple as that.
