A quick test is to click on your index.html, which should open in your browser and show the book, with all pages/cahpters.

I suggest he post the index.html file he created and the names of the page/chapter html files. There must be an error in the file.
Here's the current version of my index.html file :
<html>

<body>

<h1>Table of Contents</h1>

<p style="text-indent:0pt">

<a href="contents.htm">First File</a><br/>

<a href="ch1.htm">Third File</a><br/>

<a href="ch2.htm">Fourth File</a><br/>

<a href="ch3.htm">Fifth File</a><br/>

<a href="ch4.htm">Sixth File</a><br/>

<a href="ch5.htm">Seventh File</a><br/>

<a href="ch6.htm">Eighth File</a><br/>

</p>

</body>

</html>

I'm flying blind - I don't understand html, so Im only guessing at the meaning of the terms in the FAQ example. I first tried replacing "First File" with the file names of the chapters (not too smart), that was no good either.
Since there was no reference to the locations of the chapters, I assumed they needed to be input to Calibre so it knew where to find them. Or should I include a full path to the chapter files, and let Calibre pick them right off the Mac's file system? I didn't try that (yet?)
