Even Amazon recommends that
at least you create a “clean” HTML from MS-Word and upload it to KDP.
At least you will be able to check the HTML with your PC. This method
may work if you have an eBook with very simple formatting.
IMHO, the best solution is to create your mobi/KF8 locally on your PC with a dedicated tool and test it with
Kindle Previewer.
After evaluating all possible solutions to go from MS-Word to mobi/KF8 and/or epub I finally selected Jutoh Plus as the foundation of my set up. You have total control of the output format and the mobi/kf8 file generated is compliant wth KDP Guidelines. You can even generate automatically various ePubs according to the different platforms you want to upload your eBook to.
