The Document map is also capable of being toggled on/offwith the enter key in Word 2002 here. <Alt+V, d> will also do it. (In these cases the document map is an addendum - if you will - to other views, not like Normal or Print Layout and other main views each of which is integral to a preferred viewing of the document. perhaps the Document map view does not always behave the same way, i.e., with different types of documents. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gerald.g.weichbrodt@xxxxxx> To: <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 8:06 PM Subject: [guispeak] Re: Unchecking the Document Map in Microsoft Word In general, there are two ways to uncheck a menu item. If the menu item is one of a series of mutually exclusive options, sort of like radio buttons in other situations, then you can indeed press Enter on another item and have the one you don't want checked have its checkmark go away. In other situations, though, a checkmark stands alone and just means that something is turned on. An example of this is the "Word Wrap" option in Notepad. In that case, the way to turn the checkmark off is to press Enter on the menu item again. The checkmark will behave as a toggle and will disappear after being hit a second time with the Enter key. The only way I've found for determining whether a checkmarked item is one of a group or simply an individual item that can be turned on and off is to experiment. In my experience, if a checkmarked menu item is one of a group of alternatives, then pressing enter on the same item again has no effect. The item just stays checked. I just tested the "Document Map" item in Word 2003, and it proved to be a feature that toggled between being on and off when I hit it repeatedly with the Enter key in the View menu.
