Re: a couple of questions
All page names shown in the Page & Layer Gallery are lowercase which is probably a safer naming convention as some servers have trouble with capitalized page names.
I would think that changing the page names to lowercase will have no effect on your page rankings and if anything demonstrates that your site has been recently updated.
Not sure why moving your footer is a problem on your home page. Maybe one of the other members will have a suggestion.

Im concerned if i load the new site and reidrects all at once it may affect the google rankings. page content and titles are basically the same.
Re: a couple of questions
google may see both lower case and upper case versions as duplicate content

301 Moved Permanently
A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect which passes between 90-99% of link juice (ranking power) to the redirected page. 301 refers to the HTTP status code for this type of redirect. In most instances, the 301 redirect is the best method for implementing redirects on a website.
Re: a couple of questions
thats right. If i dont do a redirect then it will be duplicate content. If i can just change the case of the letters i need i wont need to do so.
Re: a couple of questions
Will Page1.htm be replaced by page1.htm? That won't be seen as a duplicate page as Page1.htm will no longer exist. A 301 Redirect just ensures outdated links to the old Page1.htm are automatically redirected to page1.htm.
Re: a couple of questions
yes so basically where i had Page1.html the replacement will be page1.html.
Will i need to do a 301 as the original Page1.html is already indexed.
Re: a couple of questions
I would say yes, do a 301 redirect for each of the 21 pages otherwise it will take time for SE's to find the new links and meanwhile you'll be loosing traffic.
