Want To See Headings in Document Map W/out Seeing Them in Document
I'm using Word 2002 on a Windows XP system.
I love the ability to jump around a very large document using the Document Map view. I need to be able to hide those headings, however, in the document. Currently, when I hide the headings, they disappear from the document. Can anyone tell me a way that I can see various headings in the Document Map without the headings appearing in the document? Much thanks! |

Want To See Headings in Document Map W/out Seeing Them in Document
Hi montgomerymouse
It's not clear whether you want to hide the headings on the screen, or on paper. Depending on what you need, modify the heading styles so they have white text, or are hidden. The Document Map will display white text in the ordinary way; the Document Map will display hidden text with a dotted underline. In either case, you'll have to be very careful that you don't accidentally type over the headings, or put text in the wrong spot. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Want To See Headings in Document Map W/out Seeing Them in Docu
Hi Shauna,
thanks for your response! I want the headings to be hidden both on the screen and on the paper, but I want the headings to appear in the document map. Based on what you wrote, it sounds like you are saying that I could hide the heading and still be able to see the heading in the Document Map. However, when I hide the headings, I don't see them at all in the Document Map. Do you have any idea what I am doing incorrectly so that I can't see them in the Document map? Thanks!

Want To See Headings in Document Map W/out Seeing Them in Docu
I have Word 2002.
I've created a Style that I call "MM Bullet." I go to the "Format" tab, choose "Styles and Formatting." In the "Formatting of selected text" box, I left click on the drop down box. I then choose "modify." I then check the "add to template" box. I then left click on the "Format" button. I then choose "Font" on the menu. I then check "hidden" and then left click on the the OK button. Thanks! Matt "Shauna Kelly" wrote: Hi Matt What steps are you taking to hide the headings in the document?

FWIW, in Word 2003, if I format a heading as Hidden, it disappears from the
Document Map immediately, even if I have Hidden text displayed in the document (just the opposite of what the OP wants). -- Suzanne S.

Want To See Headings in Document Map W/out Seeing Them in Docu
Suzanne, Matt
That's not what I see. Here's what I did: Create a new document. Turn on the Document Map. Put 3 short paragraphs of text into the document. Apply Heading 1 style to the first paragraph, Heading 2 style to the second paragraph, Body Text to the third paragraph. Observe that the Document Map shows the Heading 1 and Heading 2 paragraphs. Modify the Heading 2 style so it is hidden. What I see in the Document Map is the Heading 1 text, shown as normal, and the Heading 2 text with a dotted underline. Is that not what you see?

Shauna,
Thanks for the clear advice. Unfortunately, it's not working. I wonder if there is some setting I need to change to be able to achieve it. The scenario that you are getting is exactly what I am looking to do. Thanks! Matt "Shauna Kelly" wrote: Suzanne, Matt That's not what I see. Here's what I did: Create a new document.

Want To See Headings in Document Map W/out Seeing Them in Docu
Hi Matt
I tried to look to see what settings might affect this. I discovered two things. First, if I start off in Normal View, then it doesn't work. Second, if I start in Print Layout view, and then change the View from Print Layout to Normal and back, then the effect disappeared. That is, once I changed the View, I could no longer see the hidden text in the Document Map. So it doesn't look like a very stable proposition. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Hi Shauna,
Thanks for the time you put into this. I actually tried the threee paragraph suggestion you used above starting from the top using Print View. No luck. Who knows maybe someone will come up with a work around solution. All the best, Monte M. "Shauna Kelly" wrote: Hi Matt I tried to look to see what settings might affect this. I discovered two things.
