If you follow the Kindle (KDP) forums, you will find that the most common complaints are:
1) PDF made a mess of my e-book
2) InDesign made a mess of my e-book
3) Createspace made a mess of my e-book
4) Word made a mess of my e-book
While there are still a few who swear by uploading Word docs to the KDP, they each (there are two of them!) have developed such elaborate workarounds that it would be a whole lot easier IMHO to start from the beginning.
My workaround is to run the Word doc through word2cleanhtml.com online, then fix it up with a style sheet and a template. I understand that Toxaris has a macro that does much the same, but I confess I don't understand the forum thread on how to get this into action.
