Change to banner pictures on 'Design' template

[Christine Farrelly]

Make sure that the layer and/or the images are not locked.

The images are a Repeating Group of four pictures and four clipped images to give a water reflection of sorts.

YOu don't have to do anything other than drag an image form the Bitmap gallery (or Windows Explorer) directly onto top of the image to be changed.

I believe that as the group is a repeating one, it is not coupled directly to the smaller Variant.
To get round that, you just need to drop your new picture onto the same one on the Variant.

To get down to a specific object, you must use the Page and layer Gallery.
I use the Locate button to get to the right area and then expand the groups if I need to do anything dramatic.
That way, I am not changing a part of a template i do not yet understand.

well darn it. that's the first thing i tried and i swear it didn't work so i had to go thru all the other fuss
just tried anew right now and it works as advertised. i gotta stop trying to mod things when i'm that tired
at least i correctly guessed that it doesn't auto-update the variant and i wasn't batting .000

thx acorn

Thanks everybody! I did get the drag-drop to work. Getting the pictures into the gallery required using a regular template picture and changing it a bunch of times so that my images were in the gallery. But that was easy enough.
