A starting point is this article

Find & ReplaceAll on a batch of documents in the same folder
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm

This article shows you how to process all the files in a folder. The
code in the middle of the loop that does the find/replace would have
to be replaced by code that gets the file name and H1 title and puts
it into your report document.
