Remove Text from Chapter heading

I am creating a document that includes importing other documents, 1 of these has text in the Level 1 headings, for example: Section 1 Start of Day Session 

How do I remove the word Section for the heading? I have opened the Styles option to remove but can find where I can do this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Jimmy

With the insertion point in the first of these headings, in the Paragraph group on the Home tab, click the arrow beside the Multilevel List button, and choose Define New Multilevel List. In the Define New Multilevel List dialog, edit the numbering for this level by deleting "Section" (and the following space) from the "Enter formatting for number" box.

Better still, assuming that you have defined multilevel list numbering for your headings, just reapply your heading style to the heading in question. If it already has Heading 1 applied, pressing Ctrl+Q should do it.
