Thank you, Hitch. You're very kind and patient.
Yes, I understand that I need to modify the font size and line-height in CSS.
I have read that online in various forums. But I do not know how to see the CSS in the rtf file or what program to use to edit this final issue. People who discuss this online all appear to be experienced techies, but when I ask Mr. Google 'How to read CSS codes in rtf document' I do not find a simple and clear response. (I've created complicated web pages for years so I'm not totally inexperienced.)
And I will take a screen shot of the Kindle, so you can see what Calibre has produced. But as a brief summary, the text should appear this way:
-----------------------------------------
A crust of bread eaten in times of peace is better than a house full of provisions in times of conflict.
Spanish language proverb
I think I wish
yearn
long
to close my eyes
to avoid seeing everything that I loved so much be ravaged.

but instead, it looks like this :

IF the spacing is truly off, then you need to modify the font size, line-height, or something in the CSS, but...without seeing your CSS, it would be like throwing darts at the wall. Can you show us your CSS, too?
Don't PASTE code into an HTML editor. Typically, it's better to import html into editors like Sigil, which would be my normal recommendation, but as you are using Calibre, perhaps you can convert that RTF to ePUB, and use the Calibre ePUB editor to address what you need.
At this point, you are going to have to learn how to modify CSS, which means learning HTML and CSS to at least some extent.
