ron10bees was telling us:
ron10bees nous racontait que :
I have a very long document that is primarily table-based. I need to
create an internal and external version of this document. The
external (customer) version will need to have complete rows and or
columns hidden before printing to PDF. However, we would like to have
only one source document (the internal version) that the authors
would edit.
My first hurdle is getting the rows and columns to hide completely.
Using FormatFont I can hide the text of a row and if I IMMEDIATELY
go to Print Preview or print the document it will look as intended;
completely gone with no indication it existed. BUT if I save the
document then go to Preview or Print an empty row will show where the
hidden row is. This is no good. I have a similar problem with hiding
columns but I have not yet been able to get the column to COMPLETELY
disappear. My table MUST have horizontal rules between rows.
Horizontal column rules are not used.
Can anyone help me past this first hurdle?
Rows:
You have done what should be done.
If, when you re-open the document, the rows print, make sure that
"Show All" is not reactivated when the document reopens.
Columns:
Unfortunately, the only way to achieve what you would like to do is to
actually delete the column. If you hide them, the text will be hidden, but
not the column itself.
