Can a chapter number be a separate entity?

Short version of my question: Is there a way for a chapter number to appear
on the same line with the title in the TOC but be treated separately on the
chapter title page and the page header?

Long version: I'm trying to re-create a Framemaker format that uses chapter
numbers independently of the chapter titles. On the chapter's first page, the
number is much larger and on the preceding line. I can imitate this using a
line-break, but the number stays on its own line when it's reproduced by a
STYLEREF field in the page header. Also, the chapter number appears
separately in the page header, a large number in a circle. But the number is
on the same line with the title in the TOC.

Any help appreciated.

I'm impressed with your write-up, which I hadn't seen, but I don't see what
part applies to my particular issue. I thought maybe a separate number field
could be used.
Short answer: Yes. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm

Well, no, not really. For this you use a numbered paragraph for the number
and a separate paragraph for the title; you include only the title style in
the TOC and then apply numbering to the TOC style. See
