I'm guessing you mean you have a large file say mydoc.html in the form

<a name="intro">Introduction</a>
blah blah blah
<a href="/mydoc.html#step1>Step one</a>
<a href="/mydoc.html#step2">Step two</a>
<a name="step1">Step One</a>
Blah Blah Blah
<a name="step2"Step Two</a>
Blah Blah Blah

and  you would like to split it in to three files into.html step1.html 
step2.html

and that you want to automagicaly turn 
http://yoursite.foo/mydoc.html#step1 in to
http://yoursite.foo/step1.html

I would look at Rewrite rules in the httpd.conf.  You may als be able to 
handle it using php
and then redirect to the correct page.

Tom.
