Displaying the Document Map

Summary: One of the viewing modes you can use for a document involves the use of the Document Map. This shows a quick outline of your document and allows you to easily navigate from one section to another.

As you are working with large or complex documents, it is often easy to lose your place and spend a lot of time trying to find information. Word includes a special viewing mode that can help you navigate through your document quickly and easily. This special viewing mode is called the Document Map.

Displaying the Document Map is easy: Display the View tab of the Ribbon. Then, in the Show/Hide group, make sure the Document Map check box is selected. You follow these same steps to turn the Document Map both on and off.

You can tell when you are using the Document Map because an outline of your document appears at the left side of the screen, with the document text at the right.
