I'm using the report document class and the chapter titles are very large, in bold font, and left justified. I need them to be 18pt, not bold, and centered. I also need the words 'chapter 1' to be centered above the chapter title. My preamble and chapters look like this:
\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{setspace}\doublespacing % important!
\textfloatsep 0.75in % important with double spacing
\begin{document}
\chapter{chapter title}
\end{document}.
I have tried modifying as follows:
\centerline{\chapter{chapter title}}
or
\begin{center}
\chapter{chapter title}
\end{center}
but I don't think this is going to work…
Their are lots of posts related to this topic but I can't make sense of which exact parts to use for my application. Please help with my specific case.

You can achieve this by using
titlesec
package and\titleformat
command:where you choose what command to modify (
\chapter
), use vertical mode with zero spacing (display
and0pt
) and set font and centering (\Large
is a 18 pt?).Full listing:
