Thanks Hitch and JSWolf for assisting. To show where I am on knowledge of e-books, I created one successfully, by following the SW Style guide. What I know I learnt from that, so I followed the instructions without much understanding. Still, my first e-book was fine.
You've both raised thought provoking points, I'll get back to you when I've looked into them, they may provide the answer.
I would add that everything in the book with the wonky TOC is otherwise fine, it passed all the SW tests. The TOC was created with bookmarks and then hyperlinks within the doc, so meatgrinder takes over then. All the TOC links work, just some don't look right. It's not a problem with ADE as the TOC looks wrong in Sumatra. (Sumatra is a pdf reader but it loads epubs too). The TOC looks perfect in the pdf format.
The TOC is centred, and the style for each link is 'first line indent'. I've a feeling that's wrong, but then why are some links short of some text, but not others? Anyway, I'll now have a think about your advice, and see what I can work out.
