a two-lines style numbering

[Erez Brickner]

Hi!

The template of my thesis paper requires the chapter's name to appear in a
new line after the chapter's number:

Chapter 1
Introduction
....
Chapter 2
The Model
....
and so on.

Any idea how can I do that?

Thanks,
Erez.

Not sure I understand the problem. Press the Enter key? I'm sure that there
is a reason for not doing so, but I can't guess what it might be.

Erez,
One way to do it, is to create a new style based on your chapter style so
you have all the needed formatting. Then define your chapter style so that
upon entering you activate the newly created style (all of this can be done
in the same dialogue). Format your paragraph spacing of your chapter style
and new style so that no additional space is created between the two.
Additionally make sure that your new style has no numbering and that the
style for the next paragraph is normal or plain text.
Am I making any sense here?

Erez,
It just dawned on me, maybe it is much simpler, activate your chapter style,
when the number appears press shift+enter then type the next line. Press
enter to end your chapter style.

There are several approaches to this problem depending on (a) whether you
will have a TOC and (b) whether you want both the chapter number (and label)
and the chapter title in the TOC:

1. As Luc says, you can press Shift+Enter after the chapter number, then
type your chapter title. Assuming that you are using auto numbering with
"Chapter" as part of the number format, select "Nothing" for "Follow number
with." The line break in your chapter number-title paragraph will be
interpreted as a space in the TOC, so you'll have:

Chapter 1 Introduction

2. You can also use two separate styles, one for the number and one for the
title. If you do this, it's usually best to use Heading 1 for the chapter
title and a custom style (numbered) for the chapter number. In the TOC, you
apply numbering to the TOC 1 style to give this result:

1.<tab>Introduction

or

Chapter 1<tab>Introduction

or whatever you want to do with the numbering.

3. Alternatively, you can use separate styles for the chapter number and
chapter title and have both included in the TOC, in which case you'll get
separate lines for the number and title, and you'll probably want to omit
numbering for one of them.
