calibre and sigil are two very different apps. calibre is excellent for managing your library, and it has a very helpful conversion feature which is useful for easily shifting between formats if the book has already been created. but, as you've discovered, it's not an ebook *editor*, which sigil is. sigil will allow you to easily add page breaks, images, toc and chapter title styles to your book and then export it as epub. since you've got the text in notepad, copy that and paste it into the sigil book view ; then, you can go along and insert page / chapter breaks (red "Ch" button ; it will show a double red line at each break), add chapter styles (select the chapter title, then use the "select heading" drop-down menu to the left in the toolbar ; usually, i use "heading 1" for book titles, 2 for subtitles and author name, and 3 for chapters, but that's my personal system and you don't have to do the same thing. any text formatted using a "heading" style will automatically be added to the TOC ; you can remove entries you don't want with the checkbox in the tools > toc editor dialogue), etc.

Oh, yes, I realize they are two entirely different applications, I failed to express my thoughts properly.
(Must learn to link keyboard with brain) Up to now I've been rather lazy and allowed Calibre to convert files that are already completed works. I'm anxious to produce results from .txt files myself and the suggestions you gave above are a terrific start.
Thank you for your time to respond and assist - very much appreciated.
