Also, the TOC for these pdf files did not convert properly. I deleted these erroneous files and used the TOC editor to check the chapters I want in the TOC, but how do I get Sigil to actually build the TOC file and add it to the book so that I have a working TOC? I am a real newbie at this program so any help would be appreciated.

I am a newbie at all this stuff but I might be able to get you started.
To get rid of hard breaks go to "code view" under View and use the search/replace function ( a good one). A hard break will show up as <br /> in the code view.
To create a TOC in Sigil you need to be in "Book View". Type in a TOC entry such as "Chapter 1" and highlight it. In a little box next to the blue "A" you will find a down arrow - click it and select "header 1-6. The lower the number the higher the priority and the larger the font size.
You can go to the Tool tab and click TOC editor to see what Sigil did. Moving header text around can give strange results so check the TOC editor often.
I hope I have been of some help.
