Hi,
how is NCX generation supposed to work?

I have defined several heading styles NOT based on Heading styles. But with correct depth settings. In docx file I see the correct levels 1-3 in Navigation pane. I have included Word TOC in text, it's correctly generated for levels 1 and 2 only.

When I convert DOCX to EPUB, everything is fine, EXCEPT for the fact that NCX is flat. Ie. it contains both levels 1 and 2, but in 'root' level only, not nested.

I've checked all the TOC settings in conversions, but I can't find anything regarding NCX and all the settings are most probably only for inclusion of HTML TOC, which I don't need. I'm pretty sure I docx->epub converted files in the past and they had multi-level NCX files.

To sum up: Everything is okay, works okay, except that NCX is flat.
