Thank you. Actually, the very large collection of quotes was created in ACCESS, which was ideal for tracking and sorting the many different fields of text. Access also allows very detailed formatting options for export as pdf, and the resulting book is beautiful.

The problem is how to convert this for Kindle. Everyone seemed to agree that the pdf produced through ACCESS can't be converted for Kindle, and they recommended exporting as rtf. 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.
If you have a recent version of Word (I think you need 2013 at least, not sure about 2010) open the PDF that Access created in Word, it may take a while to open (convert) it, save it as a DOCX and try converting that into AZW.
