I need to change "Chapter" word to, for example, "Heading".
I tried to use command \renewcommand{\chaptername}{Heading} but it changed chapter name only in text, but in ToC it's still "Chapter".
How can I change chapter title in ToC too?

One option using titlesec to change the chapter title formatting, titletoc to change the format for chapter entries in the ToC. \renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}} redefines the representation for the section counter to suppress the chapter counter. I used \S as the symbol before the chapter title but any other symbol can be used instead.
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{titlesec,titletoc}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\Huge\S}
\titleformat{name=\chapter,numberless}[display]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\Huge}
\titlecontents{chapter}
[0pt]{\addvspace{10pt}\bfseries}{}{}
{\hfill\contentspage}
\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test chapter one}
\section{Test section one one}
\section{Test section one two}
\chapter{Test chapter two}
\section{Test section two one}
\section{Test section two two}
\end{document}

The solution is already in start chapter with no headings
(1) Second chapter starts without heading
(2) An entry is added to the ToC
(3) Links in ToC works fine.
Link of Test unchapter remits to page 5, the starting of the chapter without headings.

try
\contentsname, see http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=fixnamAnd I agree, it sound rather odd that the ToC write the chapter name, so a MWE would be nice.
