Newbie with Mac OS10.6.3 using Sigil to convert a Word 2008 document into an ePub for upload to iTunes Connect used advice from this forum to pass validation and upload the book successfully. Thanks to all who assisted.

One little glitch remains: I created a manual Table of Contents in the original Word file to work in conjunction with the auto-generated NCX, and those links from the TOC to the chapter headings work as advertised.

But the link from the chapter headings back to the TOC puts the reader one chapter too far, on the Dedication page rather than on the first page of the TOC, which is the very next chapter.

I have no expertise with HTML, and am wondering if there is a WYSIWYG way of fixing this bookmark problem within Sigil. I need to move the existing TOC bookmark from where it is and place it one chapter later in the book. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
