I am redoing a book for a client. Each chapter head has a fancy design. I want to reproduce that fancy page but still have the "\chapter" statement for running heads, TOC etc. Is there a way that I can overlay the entire chapter first page with a graphic, ideally a one page pdf file. I have tried workarounds with \startstandardmakeup,\writetolist, \definemarking etc. but the whole thing is getting too complicated. I just want to overlay a the entire page with a graphic yet have the real content of the page still available for TOC, running head, indexing terms etc. Any suggestions? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
