You have not removed leading spaces from chapter headings (steps 1..7 above). This is why your table of contents does not look correctly.
Also since you use leading spaces to simulate indents, it is preferable to remove the "first line indent" formatting from your paragraphs (just press Ctrl+A in your document, choose the "Format | Paragraph..." menu command, and choose "First line: (none)":
Of course, I did not mean inserting the "<space>" string in your document. I meant ordinary space characters.
Are there any plans to support more then Heading 1? I have several docs that use at least 2, some 3 or more. These docs are long enough that the ePubs from Atlantis don't open on my Sony Reader.
The Atlantis Online Help topic on eBooks suggests to avoid overlong chapters in your eBooks.
Have you tried splitting "too long" chapters of your document into shorter chapters?

Hello,
I haven't tried that. I imagine it would work but I'd prefer to keep the original organization. It seems that Heading 2 and 3 levels aren't possible with ePub? If they were, are they placed in separate documents that would help over long chapters?
Headings of any level are possible in EPUBs. Atlantis does place each chapter to a separate XHTML file within the EPUB package. But this behavior is not mandatory. The EPUB specification does not say that each chapter must have its own XHTML file.
If the "Save as eBook" command of Atlantis picked up headings of any level, in your case this would definitely lead to an eBook with shorter chapters (and consequently smaller XHTMLs - regrettably Sony Reader cannot load eBooks with "too long" chapters).
We already have comments from writers who would like to have multilevel tables of contents in their eBooks generated by Atlantis. So in a future release of Atlantis Word Processor we will possibly add this capability.

Cool. sounds great.
I was also curious about embedded fonts? I started prefering PDFs to ePUBs since then I have footnotes and can choose the font.

A PDF document can be conveniently viewed on a screen whose width is not much smaller than the target page width stored within this PDF document. For example, if you have a "US Letter" (or A4) PDF, you might have difficulties with viewing it on portable devices with smaller screen size. The width of the iPhone LCD is only 9 cm. You cannot view ordinary PDFs on such a small screen without having to do a lot of scrolling.
An EPUB document (book) does not require any specific screen size. EPUBs have reflowable content that can be adopted for a wide range of screen sizes.
The "Save as eBook" feature will be improved in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.4.3 (there is still room for improvement). You can find details in the Atlantis Word Processor Blog:
