Document map is displaying every second line
Doc map is only supposed to list heading styles but since I used captions
it's all over the place. I've stripped all formatting but I can't get the document map list to clear. It's driving me nuts! Please help me someone... |

PS it's word 2003
An example is I have loads of screenshots with fig. 1, 2 etc - they're all in the document map along with loads of other lines of text formatted in Normal style. Does anyone know why this is happening? "Tara Keane" wrote: Doc map is only supposed to list heading styles but since I used captions it's all over the place.

My standard info on the Doc Map, including fixes:
When you switch into the document map, it applies outline levels to things it thinks are headings (short, one line paras, usually), regardless of whether you already have headings. It been reported in Win & Mac versions of Word from 97 to 2004, and it's a bug, or a badly-designed feature if you are in a charitable mood. Suggested workarounds and a couple aids if Doc Map just ruined your careful formatting: Don't use the Document Map, use Outline View instead: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Format...singOLView.htm On switching into the Doc Map, look to see if a new AutoFormat has been added to the Undo list. That's the application of outline levels. Undo it. Remember to check for this every time, though it may not happen every time (this workaround has only been tested on a Mac, and not thoroughly). After the fact fixes: Use the ResetPara command on the affected paragraphs to remove all direct paragraph formatting and reset the para to only style-based formatting (the doc map adds outline levels as direct formatting). ResetPara will not affect direct character formatting (bold, etc) and the usual keyboard shortcut is control-q (cmd-opt-q on a Mac). Run this handy macro once posted by MVP Klaus Linke that resets the outline level of every paragraph to the outline level that is set in the style. Dim myPara As Paragraph For Each myPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs myPara.OutlineLevel = _ myPara.style.ParagraphFormat.OutlineLevel Next myPara If necessary, see: What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup readers to help me out? http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/CreateAMacro.htm (Mac: http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/InstallMacroMac.htm) Hope that helps, DM On 4/4/05 7:55 AM, "Tara Keane" wrote: PS it's word 2003 An example is I have loads of screenshots with fig. 1, 2 etc - they're all in the document map along with loads of other lines of text formatted in Normal style.
