Document Map is on the View menu in every version of Word in which DM exists
(it is probably also on your Standard toolbar). If you're not seeing it on
your View menu, it's probably because you still have adaptive menus enabled.
To change this, go to the Options tab of Tools | Customize and check "Always
show full menus." Alternatively, you should be able to get the full View
menu by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the menu.

I'm having the same problem. Whenever I open any document the Document
Map
is enabled. It's making me crazy. And...Barbara, your suggestion does
not
work. And where is View - Document Map in Word 2003. Anyway I tried
editing
normal.dot - it didn't work. There has to be a way!!!

to turn the darn thing off every time I open a document.

Thanks!
