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.
