In the thread TIP: Attention: All Book Designer users creating .IMP books..., I gave some interesting tips when using BD, specifically for your situation, adapting (and paraphrasing) Tip #2 at the bottom of the page in Book Designer:

Tip #2 margins

There is no way in BD to change the CSS/Style items. However it is possible to add this data to the file before converting it. All you need is a text editor and to follow these steps:

-Ensure you have checked the 'load last book at startup' in Configuration/Settings/program settings menu item for this to work better.

-Finish your eBook, save it and exit BD.

-Now with your text editor, open the .html0 file in the 'LastFile' directory (in the BD install directory).

-For each TOC entry, add STYLE="text-decoration:none" to the <A HREF="#BdToc_1">, etc tags, like this:

Code:

<A STYLE="text-decoration:none" HREF="#BdToc_1">
<A STYLE="text-decoration:none" HREF="#BdToc_2">
<A STYLE="text-decoration:none" HREF="#BdToc_3">
...

and save the .html0.

-Restart BD, have it load the last book you were just working with (and changed the TOC lines) and 'make eBook' as usual.

Other items can be modified it in the style statement but BD may not understand all of them.
