SYMPTOMS
When you view a document in Microsoft Word by using the Document Map feature, one of the headings may unexpectedly be indented.

For example, the headings may appear as follows:   Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 This behavior can occur if the following conditions are true:
 * The document contains a picture object that is formatted to wrap text.
 * The document contains multiple headings.
 * One of the headings is preceded by a text-wrapping break.

For example, the document may appear as follows:     _/\_//\\_/\_  Heading 1 |**Picture***|  |***Object***| \_/\_/\_/\_/   Heading 2 Heading 3 In this example, the text-wrapping break ends Heading 1 and forces Heading 2 to continue below the picture object (this object might be a table or another item). Heading 3 continues on the next blank line that does not contain a picture or table that is aligned with the left or right margin.

Note To display the nonprinting characters such as paragraph marks and text-wrapping breaks in the document, use one of the following methods, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running:
 * In Microsoft Word 2002, click the Show/Hide button on the standard toolbar.
 * In Microsoft Office Word 2003, click the Show/Hide Editing Marks button on the standard toolbar.
 * In Word 2007, click the Show/Hide Editing Marks button on the Quick Access Toolbar if you have added the button to the Quick Access Toolbar.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because if a text-wrapping break precedes a heading, the heading is indented one character in the Document Map. The text-wrapping break (like a forced line break) appears as a space in the Document Map.
