I still do not understand. You want to see the string "Part" instead of
"Chapter" in the output, right? Or do you want a different section
hierarchy in documents (bolder and bigger headlines)? LaTeX supports
\part, \chapter, \section, \subsection, \subsubsection, \paragraph and
\subparagraph. They have completely different properties. \part is used
to separate a book into two or three parts where each part is more or
less a book on it's own, that is \part is a very strong separation
between chapters. Do you want this?
Maybe you just refer to a translation where a currently used string for
Chapter is not perfect and you want to improve it?

Strange, I do not find this in my file. Please note that the string used
for Chapter is hardcoded in LaTeX. There is probably a way to redefine
it (for translation look into babel.sty) but I found no easy way. A
\renewcommand{\chapter}{Part: \thechaptername} or something similar
called via
'before begin document' => '\renewcommand{\chapter}{Part: \thechaptername}',
in LaTeX could do the job but I'm sure it's not so easy.
You should ask yourself: What do you want and why?!
