Save as Word (docx) and then use THAT file to make a print layout. When you've formatted it, you should then export it as a PDF and upload THAT to the KDP. Please, trust me on this. If you want to flail around and keep trying to use an ePUB, knock yourself out, but doing this other process will save you untold amounts of brain-damage and frustration.

There is an even easier solution. Use Calibre to convert to HTML. Unzip the HTMLZ file and load index.html into Word. Then you have the full eBook ready to be edited for output to paper.
