How do I get a document to open with the Navigation Pane on regardless of which computer opens it?
I have a Word 2010 document that is going to be used by many people. It is a long document, and I would like it to always open with a Navigation Pane on the side so people can find the specific info they are looking for quickly. Is there any way to set
a document to open with the Navigation Pane on any computer as opposed to just ones that have selected that option?
I'm not sure how reliable macro recording would be in this instance. However, displaying the Navigation pane is straightforward, as is displaying any task pane:
Sub DisplayNavPane()
Application.TaskPanes(wdTaskPaneNav).Visible = True
End Sub
You could then call the above macro from AutoOpen and AutoNew subs if you want the Navigation pane for every document created or opened in Word. Of course, this isn't exactly what the original poster is asking.
