Kevin, it's actually an epub 3 which I made by accident, and it won't let me convert to epub 2. Doesn't need to be epub3 at all, I set it wrong when I first started.
Sadly I'm stuck with 100.
Each of my poem titles is H1, and I have 100 of those, hence the TOC goes over 99.
I could change it to 99, but have my cover already with 100 on it
So the printed TOC reads:
98sPoem98
99sPoem99
100sssssssPoem100
Where s = a space character
The KDP software doesn't handle converting it to print properly and puts the extra indents in, which is why I thought of removing it altogether and putting in a simple Index of Poems in text.
It won't let me delete the toc.ncx file
Just so I get it clear, given where I'm starting from, is there actually no way to remove the TOC and its associated bits and pieces and leave a working file?
