Is it possible for you to post a sample (just the TOC page) of the book you're working on?

Since the TOC is built using headers, I made a doc with only the TOC and headers in it (if you erase the headers, the TOC goes with it). Attached are three files:
1. InDesign Export to Kindle mobi (note there is only a metadata TOC as InDesign discards the text TOC upon export).
2. Word to HTML to Calibre mobi. In this case there are two TOCs, the text and the metadata one. I did two tests, one where I didn't add a TOC in Word; I exported the HTML and used Calibre to force a TOC build based on the headers; and a second where I didn't force a build but indicated TOC level path expressions. Results were the same.
3. This third file is Word to HTML to Calibre. In this case I did not force a build or define TOC level expressions, to see if Calibre would auto-detect the TOC structure from the HTML. It did not: you can see the metadata TOC is flat.
Thanks for your help.
