Tristan:
Have you looked at:
Help > Samples and Clip Art > Book
and
File > New > Explore Standard Templates in which the reports Plain,
Sidehead, and Numeric, are examples of a document that contains graphics in
anchored frames (where you can put screen shots by reference or by
pasting), tables, equations, text, headings, master pages, autonumbered
sections, steps, bullets, etc?
The reports use system variables in master page headers or footers to
display paragraphs heading from the document body.
And, the Chapter template, under Book (click the More button in the
template browser) shows the use of a Plain report as a chapter template for
a book, along with Front Matter, ToC, and Index examples.
To see populated examples of these standard templates, click Show Sample.
To see an empty version that contains the same master pages, format
catalogues, etc., click Create.
Enjoy!
Regards,
Peter
