Centering Chapter # and title?

[w...@uiuc.edu]

Hi folks,
Does anyone know how to center the Chapter # and title? I have
tried doing \chapter{\begin{center}Introduction\end{center}} but
it doesn't work. Thanks for any tips on doing this.

I'd use the titlesec package, but see
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=secthead for some
additional options.

Thanks to all who have responded. It's that \centering command to be
included in the .sty file that I was looking for. Now the chapter #s and
titles are all centered.

The layout of a chapter heading is controlled by the document class that
you are using, which you haven't told us.

To modify it, use the \titleformat command from the titlesec package.
There is a worked example at Answer 2 in

A *whole* document? You mean center all the lines? Add

\begin{center} immediately after \begin{document} and
\end{center? immediately before \end{document}

But except for (perhaps) posters, this would be a very unusual format.
Have I misunderstood what you want to do?
