Thank you for your reply.

I have downloaded Mobipocket Creator as well, after finding that it was directly tied to the Amazon Kindle. I have also used Mobipocket to upload my files into the kindle, and for the most part, my file looks fine -- so far, its just everything for the magazine funneled into one big article.
I've never heard that before.

As for "one big article", I assume that you want each article, letters, etc to look like its starting a new page (at the top of the screen)? You can do that by inserting a page break tag like:

<div style="page-break-before:always"/>

Opening the TOC in a text editor and editing the html by hand can give you the best result. But, MobiCreator can also generate the TOC automatically if you tell it the what to html tags and attributes to link to. For example, you could have all of the section titles in h3 tags. All you'd need to do is tell MobiCreator the tag.

I don't think you'll need this. The articles will be in the same order as the TOC, yes? All the reader will need to do is click the next page button. But if you want a link back the the TOC, then just use a standard html <a href> tag.
