I did have to adjust imagery and found a great conversion tool to jpg for images created in word as docx---try Zamzar: https://www.zamzar.com/ . It certainly saved my bacon as I didn't seem to have in my word edition the 'Save as Picture ' on the Paste Special menu.
As mentioned in previous weekly blog, I used the Kindle previewer and was forced at times to make certain 'common' formating changes to fit the various devices the book will show on---make sure you check all the view settings: tablet, Kindle Reader, phone.
Keep in mind there is no pagination as an e-book is a 'free flow' read, but even though a table of contents may not be required in a fiction work, a TOC in an e-book helps a reader to go to a specific point if they set the book down for a bit .
There are recommended fonts but you're safe I think with Times New Roman and/or Arial, two of my favorites , and in font size '12' but keep in mind , an e-book reader can adjust the size themselves.
The whole process took some time , again, not just a swift upload and you're done---so be prepared.
