Document:

• to use as an Amazon ebook, first save as docx
• to use as an Amazon printed book, it can't be too long
• On Mac, save as docs to view images
• Export as pdf for real preview
• Before manual formatting, verify Word can export to PDF ok
• Also verify generated PDF will meet requirements of publisher (eg Amazon self-publishing)
