Thank you for your reply!

theducks: "If you use the tool to create the Inline TOC,"

OK, let's clarify: which tool?

What I am doing is: Convert Books > convert individually
Then I select the output format: epub
Then I start down the options that come up in the left pane; I make no changes in Look & Feel, Heuristic Processing or Page Setup -- I leave the defaults as is.
On Structure Detection I select "none" for Chapter Mark because I have that handled via CSS. I leave everything else as is.
Table of Contents: I don't check any options or change number of links or chapter threshold -- but I add an XPath expression to Level 1 TOC (to use any paragraphs with the "chapter" class)
I do nothing with Search and Replace
I go to Output -- in the case of epub I check "preserve cover aspect ratio" and nothing else. I do NOT check "insert inline table of contents"
I hit "ok" and the conversion happens.
I "view" the book in Calibri and have the menu-based TOC (this is the TOC.ncx, right?) and I have my cover, my dedication, and a Table of Contents page, then my preface, and Chapter 1 and all the rest.

Where am I "using the tool to create the inline TOC? Is that when I add the XPath expression?

Thanks!
