I use Document Map extensively. On my home machine (WinXP, OfficeXP), my daughter fiddled with the keyboard and just after that (not sure if it's related) the text in the Document Map shrunk to unreadably small. I hope she changed a setting, but I can't find it.

Problem: The text in Document looks like about 4pt. Also, it scales as you enlarge the Document Map frame. It's not supposed to do that. The font size is supposed to be static.

I rebooted a few times.

I tried changing the font size on the Document Map style - 72 point makes it visible ("looks" like about 12 point) BUT the + - toggles to expand and collapse the sections remain the size of a period.

I tried a reinstall/repair of Office.
I tried an uninstall/reinstall of Word.
I deleted Normal.dot.

Oh, and I searched help and the MS KB. MS has almost no help on Document Map and the KB has 0 hits on Document Map. :-(

Try switching to Outline View and back.

If that doesn't work look here:

"Close Word and delete the following Registry key:

\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\Data

A clean key will automatically be created when you restart Word."

Fabulous! That worked! I tried some other views but not outline. :-D Any idea how this happens, since you sound like you've seen it before?
