# Inserting a Chapter Name and Number in a Header or a Footer

Before you can insert chapter information into a header or footer, you must first set the chapter numbering options for the paragraph style that you want to use for chapter titles.

## To create a paragraph style for chapter titles:

1. Choose Tools - Chapter Numbering.

2. In the \<emph\>Style \</emph\>box, select the paragraph style that you want to use for chapter titles, for example, "Heading 1".

3. Select the numbering style for the chapter titles in the \<emph\>Number \</emph\>box, for example, "1,2,3...".

4. Type "Chapter" followed by a space in the \<emph\>Before \</emph\>box.

5. Enter a space in the \<emph\>After \</emph\>box.

6. Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.

## To insert the chapter name and number in a header or a footer:

1. Apply the paragraph style that you defined for chapter titles to the chapter headings in your document.

2. Choose Insert - Header and Footer - Header or Insert - Header and Footer - Footer, and then select the page style for the current page from the submenu.

3. Click in the header or footer.

4. Choose \<emph\>Insert -\</emph\>\<emph\>Fields - Other\</emph\>, and then click the \<emph\>Functions\</emph\> tab.

5. Click "Chapter" in the \<emph\>Type \</emph\>list and "Chapter number and name" in the \<emph\>Format \</emph\>list.

6. Click \<emph\>Insert\</emph\> and then click \<emph\>Close\</emph\>.

The header on every page that uses the current page style automatically displays the chapter name and number.
