Then I generated a TOC to clean things up and use the new ids. I saved.

When I ran Flight Crew, it reported all the old ids in content.opf.

Even though I eliminated them, they were still there, probably because they weren't supposed to make it there in the first place. I added a p in front of each number in the manifest, then the same in the spine, then it reported no more errors.

I was under the impression that I shouldn't need to meddle like this unless I chose to....which I generally do not. It is enough to pound these old books into shape without having to do skeletal surgery!

Or did I miss something somewhere?
I'm not sure where the id's in the content.opf came from, but they are completely different from any id's you use for headings and the TOC. So generating the toc updates toc.ncx but doesn't touch content.opf.

You can put [ code ] and [ / code ] around your file to make it more readable in your post.
