Default Document map and hidden text

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure why we have different experiences
with the document map. I use it all the time, but if I change the style of
say Heading 4 so that it is written with hidden text, then it immediately
disappears from the document map. I have recently figured a
semi-work-around, which is to go into Tools/Options and click on "Show hidden
text." This seems to defeat the purpose though, because all hidden text will
be printed. In any case, it's a little progress. Still I'm perplexed why
you can see hidden text in the document map, and I cannot.

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.


You toggle the view of hidden text in the document, yes. But the
Document Map is not really part of the document (it's a special View on
parts of it).

FWIW, I'm sitting in front of Word 2000 at the moment, and there, I see
both hidden and non-hidden headings in the Document map (and it does not
seem to matter whether hidden text is displayed or not in the document
itself.
