  • Welcome to TeX.SX! I think we need a minimal working example (MWE) see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/4488/15925 - we at least need to know which document class you are using. – Andrew Swann Oct 04 '14 at 12:49
  • Consider to use titlesec package – skpblack Oct 04 '14 at 13:06
  • If you don't mind the other changes, try changing the document class to KOMA-script report. – Torbjørn T. Oct 04 '14 at 13:38
  • well its to long to post here... :-( – gerberli Oct 04 '14 at 13:46
  • the KOMA-script is much better, thanks alot! now im just asing out of curiosity: woulnt it be possible to just add some latex-commands in the preamble? – gerberli Oct 04 '14 at 13:48
  • @gerberli Well, yes, see e.g. Chapter formatting, but I was too lazy/short on time to find out the details when I posted my previous comment.

  • You could redefine the string used by adding the following to your latex preamble. \renewcommand{\chaptername}{}, although babel could complicate the issue. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/30757/change-the-word-chapter-to-something-else – Nigel Oct 04 '14 at 23:34
  • What document class are you using,? Without more information, the easiest could be switch to an article type class (article, paper,scrartcl....) so you can use sections as first level. If you need more levels, you would use memoir and \chapterstyle{section}. If you need another class, it would be nice to know ... – Fran Oct 05 '14 at 01:39
