I've used InDesign CS6 to layout a print book. (Yes, I know I need to get new with the program, but I've got a lot of space to clear up and am still running Windblows 7) The print version looks great, but I made one vital mistake. I placed an image behind every chapter number. Image attached.

I'd like to keep it the same, if at all possible. I know that my version of ID can't handle taking care of this and can only anchor images to text within, above, or below.

I'm trying to use Calibre to edit the book to get the same look. I'm a severe newb using Calibre, as well as HTML and CSS, but I can grasp and learn what is taught. I did have the speech bubble floating where it belonged while using Edit Book, but when I saved and looked at it as an epub, it was not showing up in Calibre E-book viewer the same.

I've searched endlessly to find help to accomplish getting this image behind the chapter number, with no results. I've considered making a new image with the speech bubble and the chapter numbers, but then I'd have to work around the TOC showing up properly too. Each chapter has a number and title, which they client would like included.

Does anyone have any advise on how to overcome this problem?... I just want the eBook to look like the print version if possible, and to function across all/most devices properly.

Thanks much for your help!
