Yep. Epub was not entirely defined when CS3 got released, so the implementation is really shoddy.
A few remarks:
- you can change the TOC after you placed it simply by selecting any text in it (or putting the cursor there). The "update TOC" becomes ungreyed when you do.
- For graphics, make sure you anchor them, not just place them. right click menu should give you the option to do so.
- Drop caps and so on will never work, there's no implementation in ePub for them.
- If you import your work from a Word document, try doing it with inCopy instead. You'll get more control as to how the doc gets imported.
And finally, I agree, Adobe should really do something about this mess. Just having to put each chapter in a different file and then putting them together in a book can be a hassle, and we should not need to do that. Automation, in the digital age, ever heard of that?
