I clicked on Close Outline View and was returned to the original form of the document.

Note that the article also described how to turn off other less helpful

Did you ever find out how to turn off the outline feature?

Does anyone know how to turn-off Word's automatic outline feature?

I am working on a very long document and need to use the Document Map in
my left pane. Unfortunately though, the document map shows the headings
which I have created AND the outline levels which Word automatically
assigns. This creates a nearly unusable Doc Map. I can manually change
each automatic outline assignment back to body text, but this is very
time consuming and I need to do this every time the Doc Map is
re-created. Any help would be appreciated!
