Body: <p>When I send a Word docx file to Kindle, or use the desktop Kindle Creator app, it makes a single page for <em>every single paragraph</em> and rotates each one 90 degrees. This looks like this:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/pzX2iahf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/pzX2iahf.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>and of course makes the document unusable.</p>
  <p>I can't find any setting in Word that makes a difference, nor any way at all to make an ebook that doesn't have this problem.</p>
  <p>What could I be doing wrong, and how do I fix it?</p>

Comments.Text: I did give up on the automatic one and found a tool that handled it properly, which is reasonable for publication. But that's more work that I want to do for just popping a doc onto my Kindle so I can read it. So I'd still like to find a way to prepare a Word doc and send it without this happening.

  When I send a Word docx file to Kindle, or use the desktop Kindle Creator app, it makes a single page for *every single paragraph* and rotates each one 90 degrees. This looks like this:

  and of course makes the document unusable.
  
  I can't find any setting in Word that makes a difference, nor any way at all to make an ebook that doesn't have this problem.
  
  What could I be doing wrong, and how do I fix it?
