Onscreen Instructions
Hi cgreat,
To see how to do this, check out my Word Date Calculation Tutorial, at: http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=249902 or http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party In particular, look at the item titled 'Show or hide instructions & graphics at print time'. Do read the document's introductory material. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "cgreat" wrote in message ... how can you type instructions onto a document that will only be seen on the screen by the user, are not hidden text and will not print? -- cgreat |

Onscreen Instructions
thank you for this - i tried it and it did work, but unfortunately it's not
quite what i'm after! i'm sure - 20-odd years ago and probably using a Mac - i was able to use Comment in a word document to issue an instruction to the document user, which wouldn't print. Comment's function today is totally different - but it there any way of doing what I did years ago (or have i just imagined it?!!) -- cgreat "macropod" wrote: Hi cgreat, To see how to do this, check out my Word Date Calculation Tutorial, at: http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=249902 or http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party In particular, look at the item titled 'Show or hide instructions & graphics at print time'.

Onscreen Instructions
Hi cgreat,
There is a way you can do this via hyperlinking: 1. bookmark a given word/phrase, for which you want to provide instructions 2. select the bookmarked range, then insert a hyperlink to it, with whatever 'help' text you want. If you don't like the standard hyperlink formatting, you can change it to something else. Alternatively, if you want some instructions that get deleted as soon as the user starts typing where the instructions appear, you could use a MACROBUTTON field coded along the lines of: {MACROBUTTON NoMacro Please type here} where the field brace pair (ie '{ }') is created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "cgreat" wrote in message ... thank you for this - i tried it and it did work, but unfortunately it's not quite what i'm after! i'm sure - 20-odd years ago and probably using a Mac - i was able to use Comment in a word document to issue an instruction to the document user, which wouldn't print.
