add textbox to edge of every page

Hi all,

i am writing my thesis and i have 6 chapters. I want to add a textbox called "chapter 1" at a particular position to the edge of every page on chapter 1. On chapter 2, i want the textbox "chapter 2" at a lower position. A lower textbox for chapter 3 and so on. i want to do this because its easier to jump to certain chapters by just flipping the page in print format.
obviously i could manually copy paste but thats a lot of work and i could not manage this with templates either.

Please help me out guys.

Using office 2003 on windows xp pro.

thanks in advance
