Default Document map and hidden text

Thank you for your reply.

I did find a way for it to work. Daiya was right. It does work.

The reason DISPLAY MAP is easier to work with rather than OUTLINE VIEW is
because the DISPLAY MAP pane sits on the left of my 400 page document and
it's easy to scroll up and down through the document rather than continually
having to switch from Normal View to OUTLINE VIEW then having to continually
expand and collapse my document to work with it then returning to Normal View.

Thank you again for taking the time to reply to my message.

Wow - where did you find this?

Any way - AFAIK there is no way to display hidden text in the Doc Map unless
something could be done programmatically...and I'm not sure that would be a
good idea. Doc Map has been reported by some to be rather unstable.

Have you tried working with Outline View? As long as you have non-printing
characters displayed (ΒΆ) hidden text *does* show up there. Also, I don't
understand what the OP meant by saying the Doc Map "helps me to clearly
organize" as it is merely a navigation tool. Outline View is far more robust
for physically organizing & reorganizing as well as navigating.

Robert,
I would also like to know how this is done.

Did you ever get a sufficient answer because even using Daiya's advice, the
hidden text is still not displayed in the Display Map.

One of my favorite features in MS Word is the Document Map, as it helps me to
clearly organize what could be complex documents. I would like to have one
level of Heading that uses hidden text, as a way of keeping track on the
ideas that I'm including in the text, but not for my readers to see.
Unfortunately, if I format the heading (say, Heading 4) so that the font is
"hidden text," then the heading no longer appears in the Document Map. Is
there any way to have a heading that is in hidden text but shows up in the
Document Map?
Any assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
