Asking L&L if we could have a page for people to share compile formats with an image of the Section Layouts after layouts are assigned to the section type and upload the compile format.
I will start Simple format with centered titles for Scenes, numbered acts, chapters and Front Matter (also back matter) As Is

Here is a second one where I add images below a Scene title. I used a custom metadata list of image names with the images with those names stored in my Research section. this allows me to associate specific images with a scene, or could easily do this for chapters. As you could have unique custom metadata entries for each chapter folder.
You can adjust the tag dimensions to fit your own needs. I added a suffix image as well. I added several returns to space the image below the Scene title.
I also added separators between scenes. Again I linked to a seperator, but you could use custom metadata lists of separators to assign custom metadata to a particular group of scenes to customize dividers by scenes.
For the images and separators, the images were stored in the research section. With the divider I simply included the image as a separtor. I will include an image of it and upload the png file as well.

Here is how I set up a chapter with a number and unique text per chapter. I did this with custom metadata in a list format. Each chapter could have a unique text entry assigned in its custom metadata which then appears in the compile output. I will include pictures on how I did this and how it looked in the middle panel of the compile window. I start with the this view and a small compile collection.
Now here is how it appears in word.
Here are the settings I used to get there.
