András' solution shows emacs' greatness. But it might be easier to get rid of numbers in the /text/ of headings and instead do M-x org-num-mode, which dynamically shows heading numbers like 1. Heading 2. Heading 1.1 Heading ... with default settings. There plenty of possibilities for configuration, see (info "(org)Dynamic Headline Numbering") [evaluate after the last closing parenthesis] or the commentary section of org-num.el Ciao; Gregor
