Hi Shauna,
Thanks for your reply. It is possible that you have given the definitive
answer to my question, but I hope not. I've been using MS Word for many
years and fully appreciate that hidden text is visible in electronic versions
of a document. But the purpose of the document map is to help me to
efficiently navigate documents as I create them. I would like to be able to
place a heading that I could see in the document map as a way of helping me
organize the materials I've covered while I'm writing my document, but that
won't be visible with the printed document is printed. Maybe it isn't
possible, but if not I think this is a flaw in the program, because there is
no reason why the document map shouldn't be able to show you what you want
provided it is a proper heading. If hidden text is an option for a heading
in the body of the text, why not in the Document Map? I had hoped there would
be some way of "turning on this feature," but I can't find it. If you or any
of your colleagues have suggestions for creating a solution, that would be
great. In any case, thank you very much for your reply.

Hi Robert
As far as I know, there is no way for text that is hidden to appear in the
Document Map.
Bear in mind, too, that whether hidden text is displayed or printed is up to
the user, not the creator of the file. I display hidden text all the time.
If anyone sends me a document with hidden text, I'll see it.
Hope this helps.

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.
Bob
