To make chapter bigger in article

Question

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
\chapter{RAA renal hormones} \label{06222014204556} \includepdf[pages={-}]{06222014204556.pdf}
\end{document}

I get formatting of RAA renal hormones as plain text.

If I change documentclass to book, then right format.

What is the right way to make the chapter look like a heading in the article?

The document class article doesn't provide the command \chapter: See Regarding the book, report, and article document classes: what are the main differences? — Marco Daniel, Jun 29 '14 at 07:51
Do you mean the font size of chapter heading RAA renal hormones? Apart from the fact what Marco Daniel already mentioned, it is just \section{\Huge RAA renal hormones}. In book.cls, \huge and \Huge provide the same font size... — , Jun 29 '14 at 07:52
And your document is not compilable, as it contains a \includepdf command for a file not available to users here. — , Jun 29 '14 at 07:55

The simple answer is like Christian Hupfer implicitly writes: Change the \chapter{RAA...} to \section{RAA...}.

Your MNWE will be:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
  \section{RAA renal hormones} \label{06222014204556}
  \includepdf[pages={-}]{06222014204556.pdf}
\end{document}

If you want more easy options, I will suggest switching to the KomaScript bundle. Then you can easily switch between small, medium and big headings, see page 86-88 in the manual.

\documentclass[headings=big,% or normal or small
               fontsize=12pt]% or 10pt or 11pt - 12pt give huge headings
  {scrartcl}

\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}
  \section{RAA renal hormones} \label{06222014204556}
  \includepdf[pages={-}]{06222014204556.pdf}
\end{document}

If you really want to add the word Chapter in front of the section number, and have the section title on its own line, i.e.

Chapter 1

RAA renal hormones

(text on new page)

you have to redefine the section command. That is an advance exercise.

As such you should at least \Huge to your solution ;-) – Jun 29 '14 at 09:39 — , Jun 29 '14 at 09:39
@ChristianHupfer I had not finished the proofing. :-] – Sveinung Jun 29 '14 at 09:46 — Sveinung, Jun 29 '14 at 09:46
