Look in the help topic about the StyleRef field. You don't need any
scripting.

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 }.

Awesome! Thank you, Stefan for the SYTLEREF solution. Using {STYLEREF 1} Worked perfectly!

You are welcome.

Note that there was a bug with STYLEREF in the initial version of Word 2013,
but it should be fixed if you have installed Service Pack 1.

Jay and Stefan have given you the basics. For more useful things you can do
with the StyleRef field, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm
