Then you can highlight each Chapter header and changer it to Header style, and place a Split marker before each new chapter point, and when youv've done all of the chapters, 'split at markers', in menu.

Then if you need you can any other formatting (italics/bold etc.)
No need to place split markers. Just spilt where needed. Also, don't forget to rename the files so you know what they are. Signal allows a batch rename so you can do most/all of the chapters in a few or one go.
