Select the numbering scheme for the chapter titles in the Number box, for example, 1,2,3.... Type Chapter followed by a space in the Before box. Enter a space in the After box. Click OK.

To Insert the Chapter Name and Number in a Header or a Footer

Apply the paragraph style that you defined for chapter titles to the chapter headings in your document. 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. Click in the header or footer. Choose Insert - Field - More Fields and click the Document tab. Click Heading in the Type list, Heading number and contents in the Format list, and 1 in Up to level. Click Insert and then click Close. The header on every page that uses the current page style automatically displays the chapter name and number.
