Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel When I click on 75% of headings in the document map of navigation page mode,it does not jump to that part of the document
The headings are formatted properly. Any ideas John

If the headings are not formatted with the Built-ion styles Heading 1
through Heading 9, then you need to manually set the "Outline Level"
paragraph property for the styles that you ARE using.

Both Document Map and Outline View work from the Outline Level setting.

I think there's more to it than that, John...

If the Style doesn't have a Level assigned to it the headings formatted with
that style don't even show up in the Document Map. According to the OP's
description the headings are appearing in the Map but they don't provide
navigation to the location in the document. IOW, they're dead links.

I've been trying to force this here but haven't had any success - In fact,
I'm not even sure where else to look. I'm wondering if there might be some
sort of corruption causing the behavior. Any thoughts?

Hi
Yes, the headings are definitely showing in the document map but dont provide naviagation - dead links is a good description
Thanks for your responses so far

Hi JEM;

Let's try this just to see if I'm right in my suspicions

Make sure you have the non-printing characters (¶) displayed.

Use Command+A (to Select All),
Press Shift+Left Arrow (to deselect the last ¶),
Copy, then paste into a new blank document,
Save with a different name of your choice.

Does the new document behave any better?

Yeah: I would have to have a look at that document to say more.

I followed your instructions but no joy
Its still the same few titles in the document map that work
I did forget to say that I copied the doc across from Tiger & Word 2004 (where it worked perfectly)
However I tried to create a doc from scratch and I could not get the navigation pane/doc map function to work at all - which is odd when some navigation happens in original doc I was talking about

Hi John:

Email me a copy of that to (e-mail address removed), would you? I need to take a
look at it.

No HTML in the email please, or it won't make it through the spam filter.

Cheers
