Document map problems in Word 2007
Im having problems with Word 2007 and its document map feature. Word seems
to assign a €˜level 1 designation to random lines in the document. Lines which should be part of the €˜body text are promoted to level 1. Even demoting the lines back to body text doesnt work because Word will promote them again in a future session. Is it a perfectly normal feature of Word or can this behavior be modified so no automatic level assignment is performed in the document? I checked through the options and searched help but couldnt find anything that might suggest a feature is switched on or off. Its becoming very difficult to navigate through a document when the application continuously promotes levels, not to mention the eventual problem of altering the TOC when it is eventually updated. Any help for this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Document map problems in Word 2007
I looked at the page and and connected links but nothing I found there helped
with my situation. The workarounds posted seem to be directed at Word 2003 and older versions, which I never experienced having this problem. In any case, it didn't work. So. I'm at a loss as to what I should do at this point. The word processor is not functional in a fashion fundamental for my work. Is there some other thing I can do such as installing a service pack?

Document map problems in Word 2007
Yes, and it worked, but it needs to be applied every time I restart Word. It
isnt a one-time deal. The other problem is the amount of time required for the macro to complete its work. When a document attains a length of hundreds of pages and an uncountable number of lines erroneously promoted by the word processor, macros become increasingly inefficient for the task. Compound that with the need to reopen a document several times each day, and this amounts to a short-term solution at best. Is there another work around? If this is a known bug, Id like confirmation about it so that I wont look for a solution any further. Thanks.

Document map problems in Word 2007
Well, as stated in the article, it is a known issue (not necessarily
recognized as a bug), but it should be fixed or at least less of a problem in recent versions. Not using the document map is certainly a solution that works, but it may not be an option for you. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "spartiaticus" wrote in message ...

You got to be kidding me? No, that's NOT an option. The option is whether or
not to continue using Word or looking at alternatives.
