Kindle formatting issues

It has again proved very tricky - actually, impossible - to sort out the paragraph formatting for this ebook.

The MS Word document I uploaded was, on the screen, perfect. I edited it and polished it until there wasn't a single typo or error, but then when uploaded it was evident in the preview that some paragraph indents and body text had decided it wanted to follow other rules.

I went back into the MS Word doc and spent several hours well into the night tweaking the offending paragraphs and text, deleted the previous upload and uploaded the tweaked version...

Only to find that it was the same as before!

So I kept the upload as it was as it's out of my control how Kindle chooses to present the published version.

Apologies for the annoyingness of the book's format - readers will just have to concentrate on the words and pretend the book looks OK. Sorry.
