SOLVED: Need help changing template for Metadata Book Jacket

UPDATE: Solved as of post #11 on 9/1.

ORIGINAL POST:
I need some help properly setting up the .xhtml and css files to give the metadata that I want in my book jacket when I polish it.

I have tried editing and saving the template as xhtml and then making the css correspond. However, this part is beyond my capabilities. I can't figure it out and have tried!

IF YOU KNOW HOW TO EDIT the BOOK JACKET METADATA template and the corresponding CSS, please do so and return the files. I know how to place them in the correct folder as referenced when looking at the Book Editor and jacket.xhtml page. I CAN RENAME AND DO THE TESTING IF YOU CAN EDIT.

This would be a MAJOR HELP to me.

My goal is to remove some info and add info from custom data fields to my book jacket.

The attached files are:
1) the " stylesheet css COPY of original " file as referenced and found in ProgramFiles(x86)/Calibre2/resources/jacket
2) the original " template.xhtml COPY of original" file from the same directory file as referenced and found in ProgramFiles(x86)/Calibre2/resources/jacket
THESE 2 FILES are NOT SPECIAL and are part of the Calibre install.
3) an .xhtml file and .doc file as saved in MS Word when opening the template.xhtml to customize. You can do a side by side with the original template.xhtml when viewed in MS Word to see the goals of adding a custom fields {#words} and some format changes. I cannot guarantee that these saved formats are appropriate. I know the original template.xhtml opens as a true template requiring saving under another name to work with it.

I just can't figure out how to go from what I want to making it happen.

I have noticed that book jackets were still creating according the the standard template even though I had renamed the files in the ..resources/jacket folder and did nothing else. I now wonder where it actually pulls from in this is the case.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
