Default how can i insert chapter title automatically into header

Are you using a particular style for your chapter headings? If so, you
can use a STYLEREF field to display the "current" text in that style
in your headers.

Here's how to do it: On the View menu, click Header and Footer. With
the cursor in the header area, press Ctrl+F9. Word inserts field
delimiters, {}. Within these, type STYLEREF "stylename_here". For
example, if you are using Heading 1 as the style for chapter text, you
would type STYLEREF "Heading 1". (Actually, since the built-in
headings have "magical" properties, you can use STYLEREF 1 instead.)
Press F9 to update the display. If your headings are outline-numbered,
and you want to display the number too, you'd have to insert another
STYLEREF field like this: { STYLEREF "stylename" \n }.
