Word Titles to calibre chapters with numbering

stanlefor · 11-13-2015, 03:40 AM

Hi,

So I'm making a docx document with titles 1, titles 2 and titles 3.
If I convert the document to epub, ToC is perfectly created with calibre.
But if I use the numbering option in word, the titles are not detected anymore in calibre and Toc is empty.
What should I do as it's very useful to have a Toc with
I. Big title
1. Second title
1.1 Third...

I know I could do the numbering manually (and it works), but if the document is long... could be confusing...

Thanks

By default calibre creates the toc from heading tags. When you specify numbering styles the heading are placed in html lists not heading tags, so auto toc creation will not work. Use the Table of Contents tool in Word itself to generate a ToC in your document. The conversion will use that toc automatically.

Another little problem :
Now the Table of Contents in Word looks perfect, but when I do the conversion the numbering changes.
My ToC is: I, II ... for titles1. 1. 2. ... for titles 2. 1.1 1.2 2.1 ... for titles3.
The problem is that titles1 are converted as 1, 2 ... the roman numbers are not conserved. The rest is perfect.

Thanks again.

EDIT : Ok, fixed that myself with reapplying numbering format in word.
