I am trying to add a log to the end of MS Word forms that I don't want to
print or affect page numbering in the footer. I've highlighted the log and
formatted it to be hidden text. Then I selected the option to view hidden
text. This works, but when I save the form and the open it back up, the
hidden text is not visible on screen anymore, and I have to select the view
hidden text option again. Is there any way to keep the hidden text viewable
each time a user opens the form?

Display of Hidden text is a per-user (not per-document) setting. You can't
control other users' settings other than by a macro in the form (which would
likely prevent most users from opening it or at least from enabling the
macro).

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the speedy response.
