I am currently using a 'workaround' that at leasts means I can continue
editing my files.

I've set the font size for Document Map to 36 points. At least I can
shrink the pane to about normal width - and continue working with a readable
map.

Hi Vicky,

It's a bug that has appeared in Word2000/2002 for some users, too.
I thought it was finally fixed :-(

As far as I heard, switching to Outline view and back should fix it... for
the moment.

I don't think a repair installation or deleting the Data key in the
registry fixes it (at least that's what I remember hearing), but if the
problem keeps annoying you, you might give it a try:
See "Detect and Repair" in Word's help menu, and

I use the document map in Word 2003. Something has caused the font of
the
document map to decrease as I decrease the width of the document map and
increase as I increase the width. Normally the font stays the same and
if
the text is too wide, you just can't see all of it. Now the text gets so
small it isn't readable - as if the text is becoming proportionally
smaller.
The document map has to be about 3/4 of my screen for it to be readable
at
all.

Any ideas what I did to cause this?

Does switching to Outline view and back not solve the problem for you?

Umm. Yes.

But does that make a global change to all other docs?

Thanks Suzanne. It does change globally.

No, I believe it has to be done once per session per document. It's purely a
display issue. OTOH, the KB article at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=827489 indicates that rebuilding the Word
Data key does solve the problem.
