Hi, first post today. I am very familiar with all kinds of text and html formats, but I confess I am defeated by the TOC concept, mainly becuase I can't seem to find any good definitions and examples to study.

I have several books written (in Word), and converting them to PDFs was easy, although they do seem to expand in size slightly due to some type size difference between word and the PDF container.

to now make epub documents from the Word files, I need to have TOC tags, but I just am not clear what I use for this inside the Word file. The Word help on its own table of contents is equally unhelpful.

can anybody point me at some clear references for this? I have bounced around dozens of pages and still don't see any clear explanations.
you can see my existing work at:

many thanks,
walter
