Haven't been able to find anything on this in the help or elsewhere. I have a large document, throughout which I am using Heading 1-4 and Normal styles. Heading 1 is a chapter header and 2-4 are section headers. I have a lot of tables in this document and so I created a new style which I called TableHeader, based off of Normal and using smallcaps.

Now, it all works great, but for some reason my TableHeader regions are showing up in the document map no matter which level I set toggling to (usually "Show Heading 1" or "Show Heading 2") and it also shows up in my Table of Contents if I update it.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? My new custom style is based off of Normal so I'm not sure why it would be showing up with other heading styles. Cheers.

Hi,
I work often with very large documents in Word X, and I tried to re-create the problem you are describing, but cannot reproduce it. My table heading style won't show in the Document Map. I know you've probably done this, but double-check that the table header style has been properly applied ...

Can you reproduce the problem in a new blank document by typing:
this is normal
this is heading 1
this is heading 2
this is table header
and applying each style to each line and then viewing Document Map?

I repeated your procedure and as you said, it didn't show up in the document map. Yet on my existing document, it does. I recently switched from PC to Mac (this document was created on the PC) so I wonder if something got skewed along the way. Don't know what to do. If it was just the document map I could live with it, but my entire TOC is messed up.

Is there any way perhaps of reapplying the default global style template to a document, and seeign if that fixes it? I have a feeling a lot of extra crap (and styles) got carried across from the PC.

I figured it out! Though I still think I have a crapload of extra erroneous styles that got carried over from the PC. I had the paragraph outline setting on heading 1 for some reason instead of body text. No idea how that happened, seeing as it was based off of the normal style.
