Another note to Keisuke’s instructions. You cannot just change the number.
After doing the first one as Keisuke described manualyl, the name and negative
number must be replaced by just the new positive number.
1. Change one of the objects manually to a static picture an back to a
library picture.
2. If the name does not appear go to the picture library and and the
name to the picture.
3. Find in Design the whole name/-number
4. Replace in content with just the new positive number (the name will
remain)
