You say that you use Word 2007. If possible, I'd go back from the single file draft to the individual articles, each in their own file. I'd save the files in html. I like to edit the raw html+css becuase it give me the best control over the output.
The reason I recommended separate files is that I want you to also make a master copy of the title page, copyright page and the other front matter of the magazine. These pages don't change that much from month to month, and having the master will save work. While you are at it, you might want to make a master contents page. Mobipocket Creator can generate one for you automatically, but it won't look as nice as one made by hand.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I have downloaded Mobipocket Creator as well, after finding that it was directly tied to the Amazon Kindle. I have also used Mobipocket to upload my files into the kindle, and for the most part, my file looks fine -- so far, its just everything for the magazine funneled into one big article.
So basically your suggestions are:
Separate all of what I need into multiple files. For example, the TOC, Title Page, Letter from the Editor and everything else go in their own files?
If this is the case, how does one link the TOC? Like when I import my file into Mobipocket and then import into the Kindle, I notice that I can scroll down and click on links to the article. With all the documents separated, how does this work?
Also -- if I want to have a footer link at the bottom of the page linking me to the next article, how does that work?
Thanks again.
