Use the Store pane to browse for add-ins and install them. How can I get the menu bar.Figure 1: The three parts to the Navigation Pane in Word 2010Go to the Ribbon > Add-Ins > Get Add-Ins. If I apply a new style to it, even if that style already has multi-level lists defined in it, all the indents disappear and it looks like this: Item 1.You drag the commands onto this fake main menu bar, and the changes will show up in the real one when you close Customize Toolbars. Say I have a multi-level list like this: Item 1. Applying a new style to a multi-level list resets all the indenting.

In Word 2007 and earlier versions: View > Document Map.Word now starts using that Style instead of the one youve been using. This is applicable to both bulleted and numbered bulleted lists. As in the download from the website, the add-in appears as a button on the Ribbon.This problem occurs whenever you try and change the indentation level of the first. Give your permission to Microsoft and allow the installation to proceed.

In Word 2010: View > Navigation Pane. SEE: 50 time-saving tips to speed your work in Microsoft Office (TechRepublic PDF) 2: Change the default indent. The only exception is the Multilevel Lists, but that for another time.Word indents the list by default, but you can quickly remove the indent. When you want to make edits, do it from the Styles window.

What it shows you, however, can be very useful. It just sits there on the left of your screen. What does the Document Map do?Strictly speaking, it doesn't do anything. (We lost the old keyboard shortcut in Word 2007, but it was reinstated for Word 2010!!)You'll see the Document Map on the left of your Word screen. In all versions except Word 2007: Alt-V-D. The first is the Document Map (if you hover over it, the button says 'Browse the headings in your document').

How to get Document Map to display something usefulTo get Document Map to display useful headings, apply the built-in heading styles to the headings in your document.There are many ways to apply the heading styles.In Word 2007 and Word 2010, on the Home tab, in the Styles gallery, click the thumbnail for the heading style you want to apply.In Word 2003 and earlier versions, the easiest way is probably to use the Styles combobox on the toolbar. You get to choose whether to show just the highest-level headings, or lower-level headings as well. That is, it shows all the headings in your document.

You can expand or collapse individual headings by clicking on the plus and minus signs next to the headings. Right-click in a blank area of the Document Map, and choose how many levels you want to display. You can determine how many levels of headings the Document Map displays. How to control the number of levels that Document Map displays In Figure 2, I can see that the cursor is within the section 'Sea transport'.

Best of all: I can drag a heading in the Document Map, and the heading, and all the paragraphs of text 'below' it, will move. (Except they're not called Find and Thumbnails any more either but, like the Document Map they don't have new names, so using the old names seems sensible.) Note that in Word 2010 you must right-click a heading.It now shares the new 'Navigation Pane' with a panel for Find and one for Thumbnails.

We lose 40% to 50% of the content compared with Word 2007 (the smaller your screen resolution, the bigger the hit). It's pretty, but because the headings are in little buttons, each one takes up a lot more space. It shows a lot less content than the old one. It displays paragraphs based solely on each paragraph's outline level.But there are things I don't like so much about the new Document Map: Word no longer guesses about what to show in the Document Map. So I can open the new Document Map with the keyboard shortcut I've been using for a decade or more.

Document Map doesn't show headings that are in tables. Bugs Challenges Annoyances BugsThere are several problems with Document Map: One more mouse movement in this case is a change from 2 to 3, or a reduction in productivity of 50%.There is some some good material about the new Document Map at microsoft.com, written during the beta testing of Office 2010.

Document Map doesn't show headings that are in text boxes. I guess it won't get fixed any time soon. It's a known bug that has been inherited by the 'new' Document Map of Word 2010.

So the failure of the new document map to show headings is particularly irritating. Since that bug was fixed, we can put headings in a text box, and it's the only straight-forward way to lay text over an image. So we weren't likely to put a heading in a text box. Until Word 2007, text in a text box did not appear in the table of contents.

To see the Paragraph dialog: Instead, use the Paragraph dialog box. There is a solution to this: stop using Insert > Break > Page Break or Insert > Page Break.

On the other hand, using documents marked up with XML tags is unlikely to be important in the future, since Microsoft has had to remove the XML markup feature from Word when sold in the US. This is very disappointing, but there's nothing we can do about it. For developers: if you have a document attached to a schema, marked up with XML tags, then the XMLSelectionChange event does not fire when a user clicks on a heading in the Document Map that results in moving the insertion point from one XML tag to another. On the Outlining tab, click the Close Outline View button.

If Word can't find any text with appropriate Outline Levels, then, in Word 2007 and earlier versions, Word will guess. If you create a custom style, you can modify it to have the Outline level you choose.If your document has text with appropriate Outline Levels, Document Map will use those outline levels. The built-in heading styles have their Outline Level fixed (Heading 1 has Outline Level 1, Heading 2 has Outline Level 2 and so on). Or, you can use Outline View to change the outline level of a paragraph.More usefully, the Outline Level can be derived from the style you apply to your text. You can change the outline level of an individual paragraph by doing Format > Paragraph and changing the Outline Level.

Hooray!)You can test out this behaviour yourself, to see what kind of a mess Word can make when it guesses.
