Re: [Framers] Needed: A template god/goddess
Hmm, I just looked at my copy of the template pack and the square behind the chapter number is missing. How annoying. The good news is that if you click File > Document > New and then click Explore Standard Templates at the bottom of the page, there's one with the color block under User Guide > Chapter. You should be able to replace that color block with your customer's graphic. If you put an appropriately sized version of it on a reference page, you should be able to bring it in with Frame Above or Frame Below paragraph for the section numbers and page numbers. Might take a little fiddling. On Fri, Apr 16, 2021 at 11:49 AM Lin Sims wrote: > If no one contacts you, try the Adobe Template Pack 1, Book 7 style.

Re: [Framers] Needed: A template god/goddess
If no one contacts you, try the Adobe Template Pack 1, Book 7 style. That has a background image for the chapter number and I'm sure you could adapt that easily.
