To a certain extent, the display of the document map seems to be
associated with the view (just like the zoom ratio is), but I suspect
that you need auto macros to accomplish what you want. You may want to
ask in a programming newsgroup for confirmation, though.

I'm creating a set of work instructions and I'm trying to decide if
I
want to use the document map feature in Word 2003. I want the users
to
be able to open the instructions document and view the Document Map
automatically without having them go to View/Document Map. And when
they close the document I want to automatically turn off the
Document
Map so that when they open another word doc it won't open in
Document
Map. Is there a way to do this?
