Hi, Daiya.

My book has 7 chapters, and each chapter heading is "Heading 1." Then,
within each chapter, there are about 5 to 8 subsection that I have designated
"Heading 2." When you go to the Table of Contents, there they all are, with
their correct page numbers and so forth.

All of the chapter and section titles also show up in the Document Map, but
only 4 of the chapter headings have the little triangle; the other 3 don't.
But all 7 chapters have subsections in them.

I assumed that there is some setting that I inadvertently set (or failed to
set) that caused some of them to have the triangle and the others not to.
Any ideas? If not, no problem. It's a minor feature. The main thing is the
Document Map itself, which is invaluable for navigating around a large
document.

I also note, though, that after I closed the document, then opened it again,
that the Document Map was all messed up again. So I re-ran the script, which
fixed it again. Did I read something in that article that said to turn off
the Document Map before exiting the document? I think so.

Thanks.
Neil

Hi Neil,

In that case, I have no clue at all why only some headings have the
triangle. Complete mystery to me. Anyone?

Re second question--Yep, the Doc Map is likely to cause the same problem
again, just re-run the script as necessary. And yes, closing the Doc Map
so it doesn't automatically activate should help prevent the problem
(but it may be easier to just re-run the script, it won't cause any harm).

Hello, Daiya. I've been trying to reply to your post since yesterday; not
sure why it isn't working. Anyway, here goes:

It may be an actual bug. My book has 7 chapters, all of which are
designated as "Heading 1." Each of those chapters has subsections which I
have designated "Heading 2." Some chapters have more subsections than
others, but all of them have at least 5 subsections.

The Document Map shows all of the chapter and subsection headings (as does
the actual Table of Contents, which I let Word create and manage for me), but
only 4 of the chapter headings shown in the Document Map have the little
triangle, while the other 3 do not.

It doesn't prevent me from using the Document Map, so if it's a bug, it's
one I can live with.

Thanks.
Neil

Actually, I saw your previous post, and replied to it.
See here:

Also, I just noted that you are posting from
@discussions.microsoft.com--that portal to the newsgroups is not very
Mac-friendly. You might be happier with google groups:

I used the command-option-Q option, described in Daiya's article, to reset the paragraphs that offended the Document Map's sense of what should be a level 1 heading.

It worked well, but I did lose a little formatting -- centering, boldface.

Thanks. I'll try the applescript mentioned in her article next time. :smile:

Huh. Odd. It shouldn't have touched the boldface. Losing the centering
is to be expected, if you manually applied that--I could probably
clarify in the article. Thanks much for the report.

Funny anthropomorphizing! :)

Command + Option + q is "Reset Paragraph". It will clean out all paragraph
formatting back to the formatting of the underlying style.

The Outline Level is the property you want to reset, but the command will
also reset the Justification, losing the centring.

Why would you not use Format>Style to set the "Centre" justification for
Heading 1 style? Then it will stay centred when you rest.

Cheers
