I've created a MacroButton field in a template but don't want the field to
print if nothing is typed into the field.

Format the _prompt_ in the macrobutton field as a color that does not print.
Yellow may work. (Hidden text doesn't display in macrobuttons as you
probably have discovered.) Otherwise, you could have a print substitution
macro that changes all macrobutton fields to hidden text when you print.
Those which had something typed in them would no longer be fields. See
http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...tm#MacroButton and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFl...acroButton.htm for more
about macrobutton fields.
