Am using the book environment and trying to print the chapter title as "Chapter One", instead of "Chapter 1". I've searched about the "cardinal" and "chapter", but I didn't find anything similar to what I want.

The problem is that am using the titlesec package:

\documentclass[12pt, oneside,a4paper]{book} % The default font size and one-sided printing (no margin offsets)

\usepackage[font=large]{caption}

\definecolor{PaleGreen}{HTML}{E6E6E6}

\usepackage{manyfoot}       % NOTE: manyfoot and DeclareNewFootnote MUST be declared before the BibLatex package,
\DeclareNewFootnote{A}      % otherwise, you get an error about no room for a new counter
                            % Vanilla footnotes: use \footnoteB
\DeclareNewFootnote{B}

\usepackage[backend=bibtex,

This is a quick solution for book.cls, but this does not affect the page chaptermark headings.

The book class uses the command\@makechapterhead for setting the chapter heading via \@chapapp\space \thechapter. Replacing this by a patch by

\@chapapp\space \Numberstring{chapter}

Chapter 1 will be Chapter One etc.

The macro \Numberstring from fmtcount package expects a counter name and uses the corresponding verbal expression of the number. 

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{xpatch}

\makeatletter

\xpatchcmd{\@makechapterhead}{%
  \huge\bfseries \@chapapp\space \thechapter}{ \huge\bfseries \@chapapp\space \Numberstring{chapter}}{}{}
\makeatother

\usepackage{fmtcount}%

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{First}
\end{document}

enter image description here

Note The \xpatchcmd macro has two final arguments for the successful or failing patching of a command... I omitted code for this ;-)

New version, with the MWE from the OP

The chapter format has to be changed from 

{{\color{chapterNumColor} {\chaptertitlename}~\thechapter}} % label

to this

{{\color{chapterNumColor} {\chaptertitlename}~\Numberstring{chapter}}} % label

  • I added an MWE, am using the titlesec package, which is just like forbids the use of cardinal numbering in the chapter – blueMix Oct 31 '14 at 09:14
  • @blueMix: Well, I provided my solution before you posted your 'MWE'. You should have stated the titlesec usage right from the start of the post –  Oct 31 '14 at 09:16
  • \usepackage{fmtcount} \renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Numberstring{chapter}} – blueMix Oct 31 '14 at 09:23
  • @blueMix: This will change any numbering of chapters, your sections will be displayed as One.1 and in the TOC this will appear 'wrong' as well. –  Oct 31 '14 at 09:24
  • Really?! I don't want this :), just try to execute the MWE code, and you still see the integer number, because of the titlesec. – blueMix Oct 31 '14 at 09:27
