Missing functionality: edit heading name

It is necessary to edit heading names so that content flow is improved.

Currently, Microsoft Word provides only one method to change heading names, and that is to directly edit headings in the document content flow. But this does not provide a direct interaction with headings, as a distinct element in the content flow.


Figure One: deaf dumb and blind editing capacities.

Two features of the Word program are potential candidates. The obvious choice in newer versions of Word, is the Navigation Pane (selection box in View tab). Very strangely, it is not possible to directly rename headings inside of the Navigation Pane.

Another feature (retroactively, available in all versions of Word) is the Insert Hyperlink dialog. Kindly refer to Figure One, above.

Both Navigation Pane and Insert Hyperlink provide users and users' Administration with a direct method to manage content flow.

Why is feature editing of document headings not implemented?

One obvious implementation of the requested [missing] functionality is editing of a document menu system. Menu systems are universally understood and widely implemented, and in my own documents of importance, menus ALWAYS replace space-stealing navigation bars in Microsoft Word (and in Adobe Acrobat) for both Mac and Windows reading and writing. But...


Figure 2: Unable to type in alternative to obviously limited dictionary.

As is obvious in the Figure Two clip above, word is jamming keystrokes, forcing DISTRACTING ESC activity, rather than allow user to insert forgotten letters "en" (and in situ add "implemented" to the list of suggestions). So, in addition to missing basic foundation editing functionality, in-feature editing of headings, Microsoft Word is lacking simple flow constructions essential to what one might term a "COMLPETE PRODUCT".
