386. (Writer calls chapter titles Chapter names.) If you have used
outline numbering on your Heading 1, you can choose whether to
include these numbers in the field (Chapter number and name).

number into your document
• You can insert cross-references to other heading levels by
specifying a value in the Level box in the lower right of the
Document page of the Fields dialog box (Figure 386). That is,
Level 1 = Heading 1, Level 2 = Heading 2, and so on.
Note
A cross-reference field in the header of a page picks up the first
heading of that level on the page, and a field in the footer picks
up the last heading of that level.
• To include the chapter number with the page number, position the
cursor just before the Page field you inserted. Choose Insert >
Fields > Other. On the Document page of the Fields dialog box,
select Chapter in the Type column and Chapter number
without separator in the Format column. Click Insert.
Go to the header or footer where you inserted this field, type the
character you want to appear between the chapter number and
the page number—for example, a period or a dash.
The table of contents will not automatically pick up these chapter
numbers, so you will need to make a change on the Indexes and
Tables menu item, as described in Chapter 12 (Creating Tables of
Contents, Indexes, and Bibliographies).
