Default Create non-printing pages in a word doc?

A quick, easy way to print text on one page and not on another is to set the
print that you want not to print as hidden text. If the users options are
set to view hidden text (Tools Options View tab, and then under
Formatting marks select Hidden Text), they can view and edit hidden text, but
it doesn't print.

If you want only the first page to print, you can set the first line of the
hidden text to begin on the next page (Format Paragraph Line and Page
Breaks tab, and then select Page break before).

I hope this helps.

I started to write a reply about intercepting the Print request (using a Sub

about it the more I realised that the most likely impact of anything you did
would be total confusion. Are you trying for security purposes (in which
case you are probably wasting your time) or paper-saving ones?

I have a 2-page document which will be used by other people. Is there a

way
to set it up so that by default page one will never print? I know how to

use
the print dialog to print current page, or print a range of pages, but

can't
come up with a way to imbed the command in the document itself so that

only
page 2 ever prints no matter who prints it.
