Thank you for your answer.

I didn't build the file. I had it professionally built and have no idea what was used to build the file. The person who built the file mentioned Sigil if I ever needed to amend it, so I take it that may have been the program that was used?

I'll certainly see what comes up on Sigil using your suggestion.

Thanks again!
It's possible that the professional converter built your ePUB, thinking it was going to be used strictly for ePUB--that it would use the NCX as the TOC, not the toc.xhtml.

If the converter then added the TOC.XHTML to your file, thinking you would be then uploading it at the KDP, say (as Amazon needs the inline TOC), s/he may have forgotten to rebuild the NCX to include it. You should be able to simply open the ePUB in Sigil, rebuild the NCX, and be good-to-go. (Hopefully. Assuming that the person used structured headers correctly. if the work was farmed out, to a 3rd world nation, it's possible that they are using paragraph styles for "headers," and then you have a different issue that has to be addressed. Let us know if you can't get the rebuild of the NCX to work.)
