And Hitch, many thanks for all those precisions. I've read on another thread the limitations of the .ncx on the Kindle Family. For sure, I won't kill my book for some cosmetic issues. I'll make my ebook respecting amazon Guidelines. 32 chapters numbered 1-32 will be ugly but, hey, if Daddy said to do so...

I think I'm on for a funny copy & paste session on Sigil. My workflow adds a lot of mess to the code (Apple Pages > Word > KDP). I think I'll win a lot of time time starting over. Should have guessed it, but hope is hard to kill.

Thanks for all!

Best regards,
Pages really is the WORST, but you might consider exporting from Pages to ePUB, and work from there, instead of Pages-->Word-->Sigil-->ePUB. Give it a go, and see if that saves you some time. If you've been scrupulous about using Pages' styles (I forget what Apple calls that now), you can get a remarkably clean ePUB. It might be easier to edit that than to mess around with copy-paste.

And you're welcome. No problem.
