Chapter names in header or footer?

You can do this via tags. This thread might help…

Header titles

Have a look at the Placeholder Tags List in the Help Menu. It contains the following text about headers and footers… I’m not sure that you can do this just for selected documents though - I think it’s a Project wide setting. You can auto-generate synopses for selected documents by selecting them in the binder and choosing Documents > Auto-generate Synopses. The synopsis is taken from the first 500 characters of the text.

<$sectiontitle>
Gets replaced with the title of the document that first comes after the page break most recently preceding the header or footer in which it occurs. In practice, this is useful for placing chapter titles in headers or footers. For instance, if you have a chapter in a single text document starting on a new page, then that document’s title will replace “<$sectiontitle>”; if your chapters are broken down into smaller sections placed inside folders, and the folders mark the start of each new chapter, then the folder’s title will replace “<$sectiontitle>” throughout the chapter headers and footers.

Headers are impacted by the compile format. Depends on what you are compiling to.
