THEN-opened up the copy of the book (final edited copy due today, btw), ran Kutools 'remove section breaks'-and VOILA! NO MORE SECTION BREAKS! YAY! Happy, happy me. After installation, I tried Kutools on a small 5 page doc -inserting section breaks and page breaks, then removed them easily. So next, I made a new copy of the doc and downloaded Kutools for Word. Not cool to have to do all that work over again-about 10-12 hours of re-formatting. I used the VBA Macro as well (in a copy of the document, as a trial.) The only way that worked was after clearing ALL the formatting in the entire book. Most breaks I was able to delete using your directions for Find/Replace, but STILL- seven breaks remained that were hidden. If there are any items in the Replace text as you type list that you no longer use or need, select the item and click Delete.Thank you, thank you!

From there, you'll want to uncheck those features that you don't want from the AutoFormat tab, the AutoFormat As You Type tab and the AutoCorrect tab. Most of these 'helper' features are found under Word Options in the AutoCorrect Options window. This is one of the questions that I get most from people: 'How do I make Word stop doing that? How do I get it to stop changing things without me telling it to?' It will automatically fix two capital letters at the beginning of sentences, create a numbered list whenever you start a line with a number, create automatic bulleted lists, change the size of some of your fractions, and more. Microsoft Word takes care of a lot of formatting for you by default.
