Hi there techies! Once more I need your help....

I formatted a Word document to send it to my Kindle; I formatted it to Web Page, filtered.

So now it is one long focument without page breaks, single spaced, covering the whole of the Word screen, no margins.
I want it back the way it was before; ie on separate pages, with margins, etc.
Even though I have set it with margins, I can't for the life of me get it back to its pervious format. When I use the Save As function it just stays the same.

Double spacing is easy enough; I;ve done that. It's the page formatting I can't get right. And I've tried everything I can see up there.
Help?

For future reference, I don't believe that any special formatting is required for a Word document to be readable on your Kindle. I have e-mailed several unaltered Word docs as attachments to my Kindle's e-mail address and the Kindle has displayed them perfectly.

Vin, that's pretty useful to know--but what version of Word? Mine's old and maybe the elderly ones are less compatible?

Maryn, who won't fix it if'n it ain't broke

Also, which Kindle and Kindle OS version—

Maryn, I was using Word '97 at the time (yes, I am the last kid on my block to update). I recently installed Word 2010, but haven't yet sent any docs from that to my Kindle.

Medievalist, I have the Kindle Keyboard, which I bought in January of this year. I haven't updated its OS from the one that it shipped with.
