Select it and use the brightness control on the Picture toolbar to make it look the same as the background. Print, and then click Undo (or just close the document without saving). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Thank you for your suggestions.
I tried the first option but the graphic still printed. What I'm trying to do is create a letterhead template that can be printed on already printed letterhead stationary. I'd like to have the graphic in the document as a visual place holder without having to adjust its contrast levels everytime I need to print with it. Is this even possible.

Hmm. The drawing objects option certainly *should* have worked. There are
two ways to get to that dialog, and you might try the other one -- Tools Options Print tab -- to see whether it works any better. If that still doesn't do it, I can provide a macro that will handle the adjust/print/undo operation with one click. For that I need to know (a) what version of Word you have and (b) whether the .wmf is 'in line with text' or floating. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org tika wrote: Thank you for your suggestions.

"Drawing objects" affects only graphics in the drawing layer; inline
graphics are unaffected. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you both Jay and Suzanne for all your help. I don't know what a "macro"
is. But I have microsft office 2001 for mac. My .wmf file is a linked file that was inserted into the header. In regaurds to Suzane's comment does that mean that I can only supress printing when I have my image in the drawing layer? If so is there a way to lock the image in the drawing layer so that it does not move around? And will it have the same effects like when a graphic is placed in the header. "Suzanne S.

I can't guarantee the Mac will behave exactly the same as the Windows
version, but it probably will. The graphic can be in the drawing layer and still be in the header -- those are two separate considerations. Open the header area. Select the graphic. If you see the Picture toolbar, click the Text Wrapping button and choose Square (or any other except In Line With Text). If you don't get a toolbar, then right-click the graphic, select Format Picture, click the Layout tab, and choose Square. The picture should still be the same size, in the same place. The only difference may be that text in the header moves around it; this can usually be fixed with the use of tabs or paragraph indents. Close the header pane. Now the picture should obey the print option to omit drawing objects. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org tika wrote: Thank you both Jay and Suzanne for all your help.
