Hi Jeff

The fundamental issue here is that Document Map guesses and displays what
it thinks is probably, more-or-less, kind of, a map of the document. If
Word finds a paragraph that smells like a heading, Document Map will
change the outline level of the paragraph and therefore display it in the
Document Map. A short paragraph, in bold, in a larger font than normal
will almost always end up being displayed in Document Map, because Word
guesses that it might be a heading.

As a precaution (though not a solution) do Tools Autocorrect Options. On
the Autoformat as you Type dialog, un-tick "Define styles based on your
formatting".

For more information see

I am learning to use Document Map in Word 2002. It's working fine except
for
one annoying feature. It correctly shows the Headings I use but it also
shows items formatted as "Normal" text. If I change these items to "Body
text" they disappear from the Document Map (which is what I want).

Maybe I am using Normal text style incorrectly. I tend to use it
interchangeably with body text assuming they are really the same. I guess
that must be wrong. Anyway, how do I prevent the Document Map from
showing
items formatted as "Normal"?

Thanks.
