Harry, Teresa,
Thanks for the input, but I must be particularly dense today. I double click on a opf and use the tabs on the left side of mobicreator to add cover, toc. etc. This seems to work as long as I've copied the ebook.html file and images to the previously created subdirectory that creator will use.

I've added the 'aname' code at the beginning of the ebook html file. But if I add the required start code to the opf as Harry suggests, using notepad to edit the opf file, it is overwritten when I build a prc with creator. The opf file is always overwritten upon the build (as far as I can tell from experiments with editing it and clicking on build). And then the newly created prc file always opens with TOC rather than cover.

What I need is a way to add the start item text to the opf using creator, not notepad, but I don't see any way of editing the opf file with that program.

How can I edit the opf file in a way that will affect the prc build?
Bob
