An easy question. First, if you haven't already, pick up a copy of HarryT's excellent
BookDesigner Tutorial. Also check out the
MobileRead Wiki page on BookDesigner for other information.
The short answer to TOC creation is to enable the TOC function in BD and then to make sure that there are entries identified as Chapter Titles (or simply Titles in BD.) This is done through Tools|Element Browser from the BD upper menu.
When BD loads a file it tries to identify Chapter titles as best it can. Many times it misses a few and sometimes it identifies some lines as titles that are not titles and these must be corrected. Harry offers some good suggestions for this.
Remember that in the normal view within the CONNECT software on the PC the TOC will not be displayed. To see the TOC you must go into the full screen mode and then select the icon on the right of the screen to see the TOC in a popup window.
For most books the simple TOC mentioned above will be enough. When you go to multivolume books such as the Sherlock Holmes that HarryT posted then you need the more complex TOC described in detail in his tutorial.
It is easier to do than the explaination is to read. (Yes, I stole that line from Harry.
