Dreamwriter. IT WORKS! Thank you so, so much.

Unbelievable. The amount of time and effort I've spent trying to convert this blasted thing, and just when I thought I was at the finish line this strange, obscure problem that nearly made me go mental. But you have taken the time to look at my code, examine it and discover a solution. I am so grateful to you. Thank you.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist (sorry.) On testing I saw I had two more problems which I believe I fixed.
Some of my chapters required a page break underneath the title. I originally removed these lines of code.

Code:

<br>
</h1>

But then I saw there was no space between chapter title and text so I put them back, I have my space and it looks great. But would the br still work without /h1? Or does the /h1 need to stay in?

I also saw I had the same issue with the table of contents! i.e. it works well when I 'Go to toc' on scroll right and back. But when I scroll left and then back right on to the toc, then the 'Contents' is one line down.

This is the code for my toc

Code:

<b><span style='font-size:13.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br
clear=all style='page-break-before:always'>
</span></b>

<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b><span
style='font-size:13.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;</span></b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><a name=toc></a><b><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt;
line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br>
Contents</span></u></b></p>

What I did was delete those first two paras, and add that mbp line, it now looks like this..

Code:

<mbp:pagebreak />

<p class=MsoNormal><a name=toc></a><b><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt;
line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br>
Contents</span></u></b></p>

In testing the file the toc now is consistent. It works. I just wanted to make sure that removing those lines is safe and wont unravel everything. And if it is safe for me to have deleted them why were they even in there?

Apart from that I can't say this enough... THANK YOU! I'm so truly utterly grateful.
