i've been using calibre to convert to an rtf file, and using openoffice as a wysiwyg editor, then saving the file as an odt file and then using calibre to convert it to mobi.

this method loses some formatting and features that i'd like to retain, so i've been looking for an alternate wysiwyg editor that, among other things, does not destroy the table of contents. i've tried sigil and did not find its wysiwyg features very extensive compared to openoffice as it doesn't do some things i want from an editor.

no joy so far.

any suggestions?
