Document headings must be formatted with built-in heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading. Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1 through Heading 9.) in order to display in the Document Map (Document Map: A vertical pane along the left edge of the document window that displays an outline of the document's headings. You can use the Document Map to quickly move through a document and to keep track of your location in it.).

1. On the View menu, click Document Map.

2. Select the level of headings to display. Do any of the following:

   • To display all headings at a specific level or higher, right-click a heading in the Document Map, and then click a number on the shortcut menu (shortcut menu: A menu that shows a list of commands relevant to a particular item. To display a shortcut menu, right-click an item or press SHIFT+F10.). For example, click Show Heading 3 to display heading levels 1 through 3.

   • To collapse the subordinate headings under an individual heading, click the minus sign (-) next to the heading.

   • To display the subordinate headings under an individual heading, click the plus sign (+) next to the heading.

3. Click a heading in the Document Map you want to navigate to. The insertion point in the document will move to the selected heading.

4. When you no longer want to view the Document Map, click Document Map on the View menu to close the pane (pane: A portion of the document window bounded by and separated from other portions by vertical or horizontal bars.).
