How can i get the document map to work on an older version of mircrosoft word for mac? - I bought a new mac and downloaded and older version of microsoft office for mac. Everything works fine except the document map in word. Only a portion of the text that is in my document does not show up in my document map. In all of the documents I have created so far, just the first few pages show up in the document map.

Best Answer: How many headings are working? Six? Four? Twenty-seven? You should do a bit of experimenting to find out if this is something about the way you built the document or something faulty in Word. Here's how to proceed: Create a new document. Type a bunch of trash. Copy-paste for a while to make enough pages that it will be in the range of the fault. Make a bunch of headings, but DO NOT make them by changing the font sizes or making the text bold. Instead, apply heading styles to each heading (go to the Format menu, slide down to "Style..." and scroll through the list to choose a heading style). When you create "headings" by simply changing the font size or making the text bold, you are leaving it up to the document map to make some kind of educated guess as to what is and what is not a heading. Instead, apply heading styles directly to that text. That will "mark" them so that the document map knows instantly that they are headings. - SilverTonguedDevil
