I have purchased an InDesign template, complete with text, headings, and chapter numbers.

I have deleted chapters 2 - 8, and now I want to rename the text Chapter IX to Chapter II, but the text is not editable - it looks like it is a predefined section. I cannot select it using the 2 cursor tools either.

How do I change the chapter number? Thanks.

Your chapter titles are set up as text variables which are controlled in the main menu via "Type > Text variables > Define". This is an advanced Indesign feature and not very straightforward if you are new-ish to ID. There is however a lot of documentation online about this if you are willing to dig into it, eg. helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/numbering-pages-chapters-sections.html
However, the easy way to fix this is: 1. left click any of your "apparently" locked chapter numbers, 2. right click on the same line of text and a popup menu appears, 3. choose "Convert numbering to text" and this will turn it into plain & unlocked text which you can edit as you wish.
