So how do I go about doing it? Any method will do as long as the end result is achieved (epub to epub conversion, epub to docx conversion, modifying epub etc).

Any help please.

Are the images just showing text? If that's the case, you can do something like this...

HTML code

<h2 class="chapter">Chapter One</h2>

CSS code

h2 {
  font-size; large;
  margin-top: 1em;
  margin-bottom: 1em;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-indent: 0;
}

That defines a chapter header of Chapter One that's bold, center,font size is large, and has a 1em space between the top and bottom of the chapter title.

You replace the <img> code (as well as the <p> or <div>) with the code above and just change the text.
