The document map for some reason shows up automatically now whenever I open a
word document. How do I disable this feature? It is getting rather annoying
to turn the darn thing off every time I open a document.

Thanks!

You should be able to just choose View -- Document Map to turn it off and
then resave the document.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Barbara,

I did that to the first document this appeared in but unfortunately whenever
I open any word document this map pops up. I have tried turning it off in
normal.dot but that didn't help. Any other suggestions? This is really
annoying.

Hi Katy,

I am having the same problem--I used document map once, and now every
time I open Word, document map is already on. I have tried turning it
off from the original document it was turned on in, then saving, but
that hasn't worked. I have also tried turning it off in normal.dot and
saving, but that hasn't worked either. It is really annoying.

Have you found a solution? If so, PLEASE share--I would greatly
appreciate it!!

Thanks, but I've tried that already. I decided to try it again and it
still did not work. Any other suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Whenever I open any document the Document Map
is enabled. It's making me crazy. And...Barbara, your suggestion does not
work. And where is View - Document Map in Word 2003. Anyway I tried editing
normal.dot - it didn't work. There has to be a way!!!

Document Map is on the View menu in every version of Word in which DM exists
(it is probably also on your Standard toolbar). If you're not seeing it on
your View menu, it's probably because you still have adaptive menus enabled.
To change this, go to the Options tab of Tools | Customize and check "Always
show full menus." Alternatively, you should be able to get the full View
menu by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the menu.

Thanks Suzanne. I don't know what I was looking at, but when I went back in
"View - Document Map" was there. However, I discovered that by clicking on
"Thumbnails" my "Document Map" window went away. So maybe it was actually
Thumbnails and not Document Map. But it worked as a Document map. Anyway,
it's gone now, and it's also gone from my normal.dot template. Whereas,
when I opened normal.dot before, Document Map was in the left window.

Thumbnails shows small pictures of the pages; Document Map shows headings in
an outline format.

Just by the way--MacWord 2004 replaced View | DocMap with a View |
Navigation Pane option, which allows one to choose between Thumbnails and
the Doc Map. I had assumed that was borrowed from WinWord 2003, but maybe
it reflects some sort of parallel coding that MacWord just made more
obvious?

That would definitely explain any confusion between Thumbnails and Document
Map. Thanks for the info, Daiya.
