Ncx file example

So, in order to be able to answer this huge email volume, to help the greatest number of people, with my time, I've had to stop accepting calls. I'm sorry, but that's just how it is. I'm in the process of setting up a call-appointment function, for free minute calls to answer questions from new prospective customers and longer paid sessions for folks who generally want consulting on "publishing," generally and for prospective kids' book publishers, as a special category of paid consulting.

But that functionality isn't yet set up. I hope to get that working the 3rd week of July, sometime. Thank you for your understanding. What's an NCX? Why is that different than the "Table of Contents? Your info on Kindlegen are fantastic but I need some help figuring a few things out to get my ebook up to Amazon standards. Are you for hire at all? Some paid help would really be worth it.

Then, just as shown in the example, assign Heading 2 to your Section Titles. You will need to assign the headings to every Section Title, including your copyright, dedication, appendix and chapters. We can use the Navigation Pane. With your headings assigned correctly, you will see a preview of the NCX file likely to be generated when you upload the document, as per my example:.

Any additional spaces, missing Section Titles or partial headings will need to be corrected manually. The headings are stacked, which is also helpful, for example our Heading 1 is furthest left, with an arrow to close the next level of Headings:.

It is extremely important that the book title and nothing else is assigned as Heading 1. Anything else before it, or not under it, will not be included in the NCX file.

Only assign Heading 1 as your book title, and make sure all other headings are below it click the arrow, anything still showing other than the book title is not correctly assigned to another heading. This is because most conversion programmes treat Heading 1 as the start line. Then assign the book titles within as Heading 2, and your Section Titles as Heading 3. When the Navigation Pane correctly reflects all of your Section Titles, your work is done! It may take a little while to get everything exactly as you need it to be, but nailing this step will save you a lot of pain trying to upload your eBook.

It is commonplace, but not mandatory, to offer a ToC page within your eBook. Some readers find them easier to use than the built in menu created by the NCX file. Word will kindly then generate an automatic table based on our headings:.

Why automated? This is only possible by linking our ToC with the Section Titles themselves. This is essential for a professional eBook.
