I had to hand edit that 140 page document, removing the pilcrows that messed up the spacing when the rtf was converted for Kindle. (Access does not have an option to export the text as a Word document.)
1. Is there a better option than rtf for exporting from ACCESS, that would be less problematic when converted for Kindle?
2. I think I can manually insert the CSS codes you suggested into the rtf but this newby does not know what program to use, or how to see the CSS codes.
Your further suggestions would be much appreciated.

Not into the RTF
AFTER it was converted. Making conversions look beautiful depends on the version. so edit the version, not the source.
BTW If the PDF is good, why make a AZW3? Make an AZW4 (I think the Kindle Previewer will do this for you)
