Microsoft Word Document Map

When I am working with a huge word document, I find using a 'Document Map' very convenient to navigate the whole document.

Go to Microsoft Word -> View -> Second section has 'Document Map'.

Document Map with Default 'Thumbnails' as checked

A new document generally opens with Thumbnails checked. The below is an example of a Thumbnail for a document with content. With Thumbnails it is generally very difficult to navigate a document with more than 30 pages.

If you click 'Document Map', 'Thumbnails' Automatically goes unchecked. The document with above 'Thumbnail' looks like below with a Document Map. It looks more organized, easier to jump sections, see the story line of the document. It is similar to Table of Contents, but available all the time.

Note that Document Map works similar to Automated Table of Contents. It uses the Heading formatting to populate the document map.

Hope that helps,
