Can't hide my graphics?
I am making up a homework very long book for my students, and I want to
also be able to print out an answer key also. It is very convenient to use hidden text because I can print it without the answers for the students and with the answers for myself. Although that works beauifully for text, many of the answers are drawings. Sometimes they are line drawings, sometimes bitmaps (Jpeg or Bmp), and I know of no way to hide the drawings or bitmaps. Can someone tell me how to do this? -- Gary Burton |

If they're In Line With Text, you *can* format them as Hidden. If they're
wrapped, just deselect "Drawing objects" on the Print tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.

This probably works with drawing objects. I have very few of them. I
mostly have pictures (bitmaps). I tried it with my bitmaps and they printed anyway. Is there a way to avoit printing bitmaps? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Hi Gary

If they're wrapped, just deselect "Drawing objects" on the Print tab of Tools | Options. Word doesn't really care whether you have a BMP, TIFF, WMF, etc.: - it either has the "picture" in the text layer, then it's an inline shape. This means Word treats the picture like a big character, and as such you _can_ apply the "hidden" character property to it. - or the "picture" is in the drawing layer, possibly above or below the actual text. Then these drawing objects should print depending on the setting that Suzanne mentions. From what we know of your case, you'll probably want them inline (beceause you don't really profit from beeing able to flow the body text around the picture, anyway, so go the simple path). If you have Word 2003 and maybe 2002, you can even set the default type for pictures that you bring into Word to InlineShapes.

As Bob has explained, graphics can be either In Line With Text (in the text
layer), in which case they can be treated just the same as text (that is, they can be formatted as Hidden), or they are "wrapped" or "floating," which means they are in the drawing layer and are considered "drawing objects"; as such they are affected by the referenced setting in the Print Options.
