I am missing the fourth (and fifth) heading level in the Navigation Pane in Word.

How do I activate those?

Check Outline level

I have Word 2013.

  • This isn't a duplicate of the proposed question. The proposed duplicate addresses *how to make a custom style appear in the Navigation Pane* while this question seeks to expose the *built-in* Heading styles 4 and greater. – I say Reinstate Monica Aug 28 '15 at 02:25

By default, Word 2013 does not display styles Heading 4 and greater until you use the highest numbered heading level currently displayed.

To add Heading 4 to the available styles, apply Heading 3 style somewhere in your document. Heading 4 will immediately become visible in the Styles group on the ribbon.

Use Heading 4 and Heading 5 will become available, and so on.

    If it does not when using own styles, make sure that for your Heading 4 the correct Outline level (Level 4) is set. To check this right-click the Heading 4 in the Styles (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S), Modify..., Format, Paragraph, Outline level shall be Level 4. – Michael S. Oct 22 '15 at 09:07
  • Not working with Word 2003 ... ?any other way... – ZEE Mar 13 '18 at 21:42
  • @ZEE you should ask a new [question](https://superuser.com/questions/ask). This one is for office 2013. – I say Reinstate Monica Mar 13 '18 at 21:43
  • Thanks Twisty... but there is a great chance that the procedure is the same for a great part of the MS Office range... (as it is in other office features) – ZEE Mar 16 '18 at 16:45
  • That's true, but Word 2003 is very different from modern versions of Office... Particularly versions after 2007. – I say Reinstate Monica Jul 18 '19 at 22:04
