Default Extra entries in the document map

For DocMap to work and display correctly, your document needs to be
formatted correctly using styles throughout without any direct formatting.
What you have to be extra careful about is that DocMap is actually an
AutoFormat feature (thought this is far from obvious). If a document is
nearly all normal style with direct formatting applied here and there, when
you activate DocMap, it will go through the document AutoFormat it the way
it think you intended. So if you have emboldened a short sentence using
direct formatting, DocMap sees it as a heading and therefore applies a
Heading Style to it. This may be why you are seeing the errant headings
listed in the DocMap.

If you right-click on the DocMap, it should pop up a dialog to let you
select what levels you want to display, but as said above, your document
needs to be accurately formatted.

I'd like the document map to show only "Heading 1,2,3", like what appears
in the table of contents. However, I see lots of other entries, almost
any bold sentances, short lines, etc.

Does the document map work? Is there a way to turn off everyhting except
what appears in the table of contents?
