When the OP spoke of 100% white he meant 100% brightness. And in fact 0%
brightness would not be the opposite: the default setting for both
brightness and contrast is 50%. The chief problem with *not* printing
something (whether by formatting it as hidden, which can be done even with
graphics if they're inline, or by clearing "Drawing objects" in the Print
Options) is that you must compensate for the space the object consumes.

There is no simple setting, no. You can do this with a macro or styles

only,
then you need to color the text white (not hidden because then it won't
take
up space) for printing. You can do this by changing the definition of
the
paragraph style(s) used in the letterhead. If you have more than one
style
or have used direct font formatting, you might find it more
satisfactory to
define a character style to overlay the entire text. In any case, your
macros will toggle the text color between Auto and White.
If the letterhead includes graphics, then you make them "white" by
setting
the brightness to 100%.
Ugh... that is very unfortunate. We cannot use macros.
The letterhead/footer would have to be an image.
What we really need is the option to print it both ways. With and
without graphics... and we do not want multiple copies (I.e.: no cut
and paste into a second document).
So we could create a show style (0% white) and have to apply it to a
graphic for it to print and then a hide style (as you have mentioned
100% white). It might just be faster to delete the image 
back to the drawing board.
thank you,

If you have no other graphics in the doc that *do* need to be printed and
the graphic is not set to In Line with Text you can add/remove the check
for
Drawing Objects in ToolOptionsPrint or through the Options button in the
Print dialog. You may have to do this anyway - I don't believe the 100%
white will apply to the graphic even if it is In Line.
