Word To MOBI Blank Pages & Extra TOC; AZW3?

Hello everyone

I’m finally getting a pretty decent looking first book finished on Calibre. However, I still have a couple of problems I am hoping someone can offer suggestions on

1) A couple of blank pages keep cropping up which I can’t figure out how to eliminate

2) I did the layout in MS Word 2003 with a functioning TOC. I saved it as a filtered htm file and converted it to MOBI on Calibre, specifying Force TOC. The MOBI TOC looks good and works fine, but I get a second TOC at the end of the book which, besides not making any sense, doesn’t look as good at the TOC at the beginning

I thought the problem might be checking Force TOC when I already had one in the Word doc, but if I don’t check Force TOC, I don’t get any TOC in the MOBI output

3) If I can fix these two problems I would be ready to submit to KDP, but I have heard that the KDP output does not always look as good as the input. Any suggestions to help insure a nice looking finished product on KDP would be appreciated

Or is AZW3 a better way to submit to KDP?

Thanks much in advance for any replies
