Microsoft Word >Navigation Pane

Question

Hi,

I need to enable "Navigation Pane" to show the topic headings on the left side bar as shown in below screenshot:

If document is open on a different PC where "Navigation Pane" is not enabled in VIEW Menu, the side bar headings are not visible. Is there anyway to force /require to open this file with "Navigation Pane" always enabled?

Answer 1

Thanks for reply.

Table of contents is available on the Top of the document and not available on the left navigation pane.
If a user has to enable Macros, I think this is not what I am looking for.

Answer 2

Hi @
If you want to use Group Policy to control this feature, it seems you cannot get the result. I suggest you refer to this thread and refer to the reply of William Zhou CHN:

Hope the information is helpful.
