Is there any way I can get the Document Map to show without listing the ToC entries? It's pretty annoying seeing the same headings twice and 50% of the time inadvertantly clicking on the ToC entry not the paragraph heading itself. thanks Robin

TOC styles have body text paragraph outline levels and so should not be caught by the document map. But the document map sometimes changes paragraph outline levels based on the formatting used. Modifying the TOC styles should get rid of TOC entries in the map. Pam -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.**--****.com/
Pam I just don't get this. If I insert a ToC that is one of the standard ToCs such as Classic, then the Map doesn't include it. When I insert a ToC where I select "Format: From template" then the ToC is included in the Map. So I tried to modify my ToC1, ToC2 and ToC3 styles, because that's what the ToC includes, and no matter what I do it's still there in the Map unless I do something drastic like set ToC1 to Normal. But that's not logical because I want the ToC styles to be used. I can't see what specific property of the ToC styles is forcing it's inclusion in the Map. I have removed numbering, but basic things like Font type and style should not be the issue ??? Robin
Click the down arrow to the right of a TOC style name, then click modify > format > paragraph. In the general section, make sure the outline level is "Body Text". If you had to change the setting, then you may have fixed your problem. If not, then I may not understand the situation. Just to clarify, are the headings in your text styled as Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.? When you select the whole TOC, right click, and toggle the field codes do you see something like this: {TOC \o -3\h \z \u }? Pam -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.**--****.com/
1.Copy text results in unwanted entries in Document map and TOC
After migrating to Word 2007 we have the problem that when we select some auto-generated text from a different program and paste it in another word document it generates a lot of entries in the document map. I tried all I could think of. I'll list the things I learned so you can maybe get a better idea of whats going on. - There are a lot of unwanted entries - These entries are not coupled to a single style. - These entries are not coupled or derived from a Heading style - These entries are not influenced by the show level in the outline view - In Office 2003 it works great - When inserting the TOC and clicking options and deselecting the second checkbox (just below the styles, sorry different language version here, so I don't have the exact English caption) these entries don't show up in the TOC but are still there in the outline. It looks like Word does some auto formatting while pasting. How can you prevent this. Any ideas are welcome.
2.Cannot get captions to NOT appear in TOC and Document Map
Despite the fact that I have Paragraph formatting set to Body Text, my captions are always appearing in my Table of Contents and also in my Document Map, and always at the Outline Level 1 level, so that they appear as top-level items in these lists. This makes it very difficult to navigate the doc using Document Map, and it corrupts my Table of Contents. I have created two caption styles based on the default "Caption" style that came installed with MS Word 2007: I have named these "CaptionFigures" and "CaptionTables". There is no difference in the actual formatting of these custom styles (they are same as "Caption" style), I merely need two separate style names so I can differentiate to create a Table of Figures and Table of Tables. Note that I have other styles in use that have Body Text format, that often mysteriously revert to Outline Numbering and thus appear in my ToC and Doc Map. I can fix these by selecting the text and chaning formatting back to Body Text. But with the Caption styles, the formatting is always Body Text yet the items still appear in the TOC and Doc Map. Very frustrating!!
3.using custom styles toc generated correctly document map is wrong
Using Microsoft Word 2003, I've created custom styles in an outline format. I've generated a table of contents with no problem. However, since the document is quite large, I'd like to be able to access different sections for editing by using the document map. The help article reads "Document headings must be formatted with built-in heading styles ...." I assume it means the built-in heading styles that came with word. However, when I turn on the document map, some of my custom styles show but most do not. I've right clicked on the headings that show and selected 'all', but this does not work. anyone?
4.Suddenly captions and other text in document map and TOC
Hi, I'm working on my thesis, which has now about 100 pages. Before I started I read up on how to use word 2007 for large documents and so I first created the general outline, seperated everything in appropriate sections, defined custom styles. After this was OK I started editing the actual content making sure everyting is formatted using styles and avoiding direct formatting as much as I can. Everything worked as expected. Until now... Suddenly all kind of extra entries show up in the document map such as captions of figures, and tables, but also some other styles I defined. Strangely not all figures and tables are included, just some of them. They also show up in the TOC. I've read up on this "feature" and it could be related to direct formatting. So I selected all the extra entries and redefined the correct style (which it was allready showing to have). And sure enough the entry was removed. But to my surprise, when I opened the document the next day, it had all the extra entries again. So if a MVP or other word user could explain what is going on here and how to fix it it is greatly appreciated. I would even go as far as editing the XML directly in the word zip-package, if I knew it would solve things. Thanx in advance Menl
I have a 500 page document with lots of headings and styles. I am used to dealing with documents like this but I have a problem that I cannot figure out. The document map is drawing from most if not all of the styles and headings. I cannot collapse it down. I didn't think this was a problem until I regenerated the table of contents and saw that even normalized text was being pulled into the TOC. I checked the Options in the TOC styles and made sure that TOC 1 is drawing from heading 1 and TOC 2 from heading 2. ALl of that is in check. Any ideas?
