In other words, instead of using a paragraph class that you've styled to be, say, TNR 18pt, for your Chapter heads, use the built-in H1 or H2 style and modify that style's styling to meet your own likes or dislikes. So, take the h1 header style, that currently looks idiotic in Word 2010 (light blue something-or-other), and modify the style to be automatic (color), font-size of 18pt, font TNR, and use THAT. Then when you view the Document Map in the Nav pane, you can instantly see all your chapters (handy to ensure you don't dupe numbers, if you use them), jump around inside your document rapidly--just as you use the NCX in ADE. The NavMap is the NCX of Word, for all intents and purposes. OK?

Um...you said you have Office 2003 or 2007 or both? For the toots? I'm not sure that 2003 is still supported at MS. Honestly, I find MS's simple online toots the easiest and most thorough, even though they are very, very, very simplistic. (if you have a later version, Start here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/su...101782702.aspx , select your version, and then look for "Style Basics in Word" for your version.) I'd still search for the old official toots on MS's site, but if you can't find them, try this one: http://www.officearticles.com/tutori...osoft_word.htm for 2003 running on, what, XP? That might cover it.

Thanks, Hitch, but I'm going to have to process this one. Just briefly though: is this nav map, built-in styles by structure stuff all optional? I mean, I've got my book all epub checked and as clean as can be as far as I can tell, and I haven't done any of the nav map or structure stuff.

And thanks for the links. Will definitely check them out.
