I'd like to have my chapters headings formatted this way:

"Chapter 1 - Introduction"

on one line
not in bold
font size 18

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

For the standard classes like »report« take a look at the titlesec package. Other classes like the memoir class have built-in features.

I am reading the instructions for titlesec (thanks for that) but I still cannot figure that out.

Use the command \titleformat, which is described in the

titlesec manual. For a start or for better understanding, have a look at the \titleformat examples which match the headings of the standard classes described in the Appendix, 9.2. Standard Classes.

If you still have problems, perhaps show the code you tried.
