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 that does not go over to epub the same. I placed an image behind every chapter number. Image attached.
I'd like to keep it the same, if at all possible.
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. Unfortunately my temper got the better of me and I trashed that file, so I can't upload it for anyone to take a peek at.
I've searched endlessly to find help to accomplish getting this image behind the chapter number, and came across the following:

But I'm doing something wrong, because it didn't work for me. I must be putting the coding in the wrong places.
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 the client wants to include both.
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 or most devices properly.
Thanks much for your help!
