Some more details. Create the table in your header. You'll need to wrap it
so it can appear down the side of the page, but it will still be anchored to
the header paragraph so it will appear on every page. Once you have it
formatted to your satisfaction, unlink the header in each section from the
previous ones so that you can shade a different cell in each section. Your
best bet is to fill the cell with black shading. If your font color is set
to Auto, it will automatically be white (reversed out of your black
background). Use a sans serif font, formatted Bold, for best readability.

If you didn't want to unlink the headers, I wonder whether it would be
possible to write a complex IF field in each cell to do the job. For
instance, the top cell would have something along the lines of

IF StyleRef Heading 1 = 1 then AutoText of chapter number in shaded
paragraph else Autotext of blank paragraph
