How do you add chapter numbers and names to headers in Writer?

While in a book-length document, how do you put a header on each page that shows the correct chapter number and chapter name? I would like to go to the beginning of each chapter, then type in each chapter number and name into the header. Or, alternately, I would like to take a list consisting of chapter numbers and names.

header with chapter name and number

  • Insert header
  • click into header
  • insert fields / others / cross-reference there you can select what you want to insert.

Be careful, as long as you insert a field with no content behind it, it displays only a dot. Therefore I recommend to create first at least on chapter name etc

Go-To
Go-to using chapter name and number should be possible via FIND. Please look into the help file about the plenty of possibilities to find something.
