Document Map/Template

[microsoft]

When I view my document map in a particular document, it's all messed up.
It is showing plain text and created styles, along with my headers and I
don't understand why this is. What I've done is create my own template for
a manual that I'm working on. I've based all my styles on "no style". I
have not checked the automatically update box for my styles. The template
I'm using I have used for other manuals. It's just this particular one I'm
having the problem with. Will this affect my table of contents? I thought
the document map would only display the headings. Can someone please
explain this and help me fix it? Thank you.

Document Map is buggy and is notorious for promoting styles from Body Text
to heading level.

In addition to what Suzanne said, go to Format>Style and check the Paragraph
properties for each of your heading styles. You are looking for the Outline
Level setting.

Document Map displays all paragraphs whose Outline Level is set to something
other than Body Text.

Heading 1 should be level 1, Heading 2 level 2, etc

Any non-heading paragraph styles should be set to Body text.

Hope this helps.
