Default Different text styles on the same line

Thank you Suzanne, you have confirmed my suspicion that what I want is not
that straight and easy to achieve. But at least now I know what I have to do.
Thank you so much, your response is being so helpful !

Since you're going to have two separate lines anyway, I would advise a
Chapter Number style followed by a Chapter Title style (either of which can
be Heading 1 if that's helpful). The former can have a bottom border or
underlining (whichever works best). You can then format the two styles
differently. Formatting the Chapter Number style is going to be more
difficult, however. You can apply font formatting to the style itself, and
you can also apply font formatting to the numbering (which can include
"CHAPTER"), but you can't apply two different types of font formatting to
CHAPTER and the number, so you may have to abandon the idea of autonumbering
(at least outline numbering).

You could use a SEQ field for the numbering, but if you need to pick up the
chapter numbering for any other purpose (to include in page numbering, table
and figure captions, subsequent heading levels, etc.), you'll need to have
outline numbering somewhere. Don't despair, however, as the numbering can
still be added to the chapter number or chapter title style: define the
"Number style" for the style (which will need to be Heading 1 if you want to
incorporate it in captions and such) as 1, 2, 3; set "Follow number with" to
"Nothing"; and then click Font and format the numbering as Hidden. The
number will not be displayed (unless you have Hidden text displayed) or
printed, but you can include it in lower-level headings, captions, page
numbers, etc.

So, to recap:

Chapter number: Use Heading 1 style; apply outline numbering, formatted as
Hidden. Use a SEQ field to provide the visible numbering. Define the font
formatting for the style as desired for CHAPTER and apply the font
formatting for the number as direct formatting. Apply other formatting
(underline, border) as desired.

Chapter title: Separate style, set as the "Style for following paragraph" of
the chapter number style.

...
On the first page of each chapter I would like to include the following:

CHAPTER 1 (or 2, or 3.) in which CHAPTER would be one type of font and
size, black, and spaced, while 1 would be a totally different font and
size, and would be white font on a black rectangular background.

Underneath, I would have a thin, horizontal line, then underneath the
line, I would like to add the Chapter Title.
Then the content of the chapter follows, formatted in tables.

My question is: how is the correct way to format all the title bunch,

using
tables, or not, using styles, . or what ? I have not idea how I can use

two
different styles for the CHAPTER and its number if they are on the same

line.

Can I use kind of a numbering for the Chapters number, so when the
following chapter comes in the next section I would have Chapter 2
automatically numbered ?

Many thanks for any help !.
