Hi Chantal,
If you're so inclined, use a text editor with regular expression
search and replace all heading tags to be preceded by named anchors.
My favorites are NoteTab (Windows) and TextWrangler (Mac).
If you need to traverse multiple files, you may need to use a
scripting language to run through all the files within a single
folder.
