My quick/easy/dirty way to format a Word file to read on the Kindle 3 is to format it to a page size of 3.6 x 4.8 inches with 0.1 inch margins all around and at an appropriate font/size (I like Times Roman at 12 pt). I then convert this to a PDF (I set up a custom page size in Acrobat at 3.6 x 4.8 inches). And, Voila, I have a PDF perfectly formatted for the Kindle. The whole process takes less than a minute.
