Hiya guys....

I have created a VB Button into my word document which has a macro attached
to it. But when I print the page I dont want to show the button, How can I
change it so the button only sppears in the page and not on the printed
documents?

Do all the buttons do the same thing -- print the entire document? Or do
they have separate functions, like printing the current page? In fact, do
they print at all, or do their macros do something else?

There is only 1 button that prints, then the rest are just buttons to move
about the document! All buttons are macros going to a different bookmark on
the document.

I know in excel there is an option called printobject which you can change
to failse but i cannot find that in word.

There is an option labeled "Drawing objects" on the Print tab of the Tools
Options dialog that controls whether Word prints the drawing objects in the
document. For this purpose, drawing objects include text boxes as well as
pictures, AutoShapes, and other graphics.

If the text boxes containing the command buttons are the only drawing
objects in the document, you could uncheck that option and print, and none
of the text box/command button objects would be printed.

To do this automatically, open the macro attached to the button that prints,
and put this code between the Sub line and the End Sub line:

' declare a variable
Dim bOptPrintDrawings As Boolean

' save the existing option value
bOptPrintDrawings = Options.PrintDrawingObjects
Options.PrintDrawingObjects = False

' print the document
ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False

' restore the option to original value
Options.PrintDrawingObjects = bOptPrintDrawings

If your document has other drawing objects, then we'll have to do something
more complicated. If that's the case, are these six the only text boxes in
the document?
