Default document map

hi community

how can I prevent the Document Map task pane from being display whenever I
click the New Blank Document button from the Standard Toolbar.

The Document Map always displayed out whenever I request a new blank
documnet. I tried saving a new blank document as Normal.dot but it is of no
use. Went into the Tools Options......but cannot find any button to turn it
off.

can anybody kindly assist me in this??????

thanks community for the help.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm. Before you do
anything, though, go in and rename Normal.dot and let Word create a new one;
you can't create Normal.dot yourself (especially by saving a blank
document), so you have just made matters worse.

Open the normal.dot template (not by clicking on it, that just gives
you a new document), close the Document Map, type a character in the
template and delete it, and then close & save the template. That
should do it.
