Thanks Daiya:

Unfortunately I am using some one-line paragraphs as I am merely in the
process of taking research notes at this point.

Well, there are some workarounds for that, as well, that would let you use
the Doc Map with just a little extra trouble (although if that's the case,
you might want to investigate dedicated note-taking softwa MS does
OneNote but I think there are lots of third-party competitors. This whole
frames thing sounds like an elaborate exercise in procrastination?

On switching into the Doc Map, look to see if a new AutoFormat has been
added to the Undo list. That's the application of outline levels. Undo it.
Remember to check for this every time, though it may not happen every time
(this workaround has only been tested on a Mac, and not thoroughly).

After the fact fixes:

Use the ResetPara command on the affected paragraphs to remove all direct
paragraph formatting and reset the para to only style-based formatting (the
doc map adds outline levels as direct formatting). ResetPara will not
affect direct character formatting (bold, etc) and the usual keyboard
shortcut is control-q (cmd-opt-q on a Mac).

Run this handy macro once posted by MVP Klaus Linke that resets the outline
level of every paragraph to the outline level that is set in the style.

Dim myPara As Paragraph
For Each myPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
myPara.OutlineLevel = _
myPara.style.ParagraphFormat.OutlineLevel
Next myPara
