Document map probelms

PLEASE HELP;

In word 2003, I opened a large document and suddenly I cam
across two problem

1) The document map shows more than heading 1-7 that I
have been using. It even shows items marked as Normal.

2) When I go to insert table of contents it asks me if I
want toe replace existing table if I say yes it does
nothing. If I say yes it displays items more that the
level 1-7 that I have been using. It even displays items
that are assigned as normal with bold format.

What can I do?

Have a look and see whether this helps:

The Doc Map assigned outline levels to those paragraphs in your document.
(TOCs pick up outline levels) Using the ResetPara command will take away all
the direct formatting, including the outline levels that the DocMap just
added. If no one gives you the keystroke in a later message, you can dig it
out of Tools | Customize.

But if you use Reset Para on your entire document (rather than per
paragraph), it will also remove any direct paragraph formatting that you
applied, so probably better to use on the wrong paragraphs individually.

The shortcut for ResetPara is Ctrl+Q.
If you don't want to remove all manual paragraph formatting, you can
selectively set back the outline levels that Document Map has messed with:

Dim myPara As Paragraph
For Each myPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
myPara.OutlineLevel = _
myPara.style.ParagraphFormat.OutlineLevel
Next myPara
