The code you are looking for is:
ActiveWindow.DocumentMap = True However since this option is specific to the application, rather than a document, if you turn the Document Map on it should stay on and if you turn it off it should stay off. If you are trying to create a macro for other users that forces the display of the Document Map then I personally wouldn't recommend it - nor would I inflict this type of pain on other users grin. Well...not without making it a point to preserve the user's preferences, anyway. Users are particular when it comes to their settings. If you create a macro that changes *my* preferences then I'll hunt you down and tell you what I think about you taking such liberties. ;-) And there's also the aspect that the user may not know how to turn the Document Map off. Then they end up coming here and asking us. :-) To prevent either of the above from happening then what you need to do is create a Document_Open macro that first stores the user's current view of the Document Map in a variable and then turns on the Document Map. Then use a Document_Close macro to set the view of the Document Map back to that of the value of the variable. If you aren't familiar with how to create the macros I described then the best group for macro questions is one of the Word VBA newsgroups. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
