How to avoid printing blank/empty "Document Properties"
I have created a Word 2007 Template and uploaded it to SharePoint.
On the front page of my Word template I have added a number of Document Property Quick-Parts. I have one called "Title" and another called "Subtitle". The problem is, is that although all documents have a "Title" not all documents need a "Subtitle"...so when I print the document instead of leaving the "Subtitle" empty (because it doesn't have a subtitle)...it prints "[Subtitle]". How can I only print the "Subtitle" Document Property if it isn't blank? Please help. Lee |

How to avoid printing blank/empty "Document Properties"
There is no Subtitle property.
Is the Subject property being used for the Subtitle? If that is the case, you could use the following field construction { IF { DOCPROPERTY Subject } "" "Subtitle { DOCPROPERTY Subject }" "" } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you use Alt+F9 to toggle off their display. -- Hope this helps.

How to avoid printing blank/empty "Document Properties"
Thank you for your reply Doug.
First I must apologise; I think I'm using the wrong terminology. You may have to help me here...They are SharePoint meta-data that can be inserted into Word by pressing "Quick Parts", "Document Property". So, "Subtitle" is a field/metadata that I have created that can be found in my document library. I have tried using the method you have suggested but, unfortunately, it doesn't work.

If you insert a "Subtitle" into the document and then press Alt+F9, what do
you see. If it is something of the form { DOCPROPERTY } You could use the type of field construction that I suggested, replacing Subject in that construction with whatever it is in the { DOCPROPERTY } field that displays the subtitle. -- Hope this helps.
