I can't seem to eliminate the shaded sidebar on the righthand side of each

It sounds like you have track changes enabled or are showing comments in
balloons Make sure that in the Tracking section of the Review tab that you have selected Final and not Final showing markup. -- Hope this helps.

how do i remove the shaded sidebar for printing?
I have a similar but more complicated question: I'm preparing a
document with several sections, only one of which has or needs any comment balloons. I need the comments in that section to print, but I don't want the other sections in the document (the ones with no comments) to print small to allow space for comments that don't exist in those sections. The only solution I've found so far is separate documents; is there a way to display and print the comment balloons only in a single section of a document, while allowing the rest of the document to display and print as if there were no comment balloons?

how do i remove the shaded sidebar for printing?
There's no way to do exactly what you ask, but you can accomplish what you
want with two separate print runs. For the marked-up section, choose "Document showing markup" for "Print what." For the rest, choose "Document." Print the relevant portions by choosing page or section ranges in the Pages box. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne, I appreciate the reply. That's probably no better
than keeping separate documents, though; either way, we'll have to remember to print twice and then collate. Maybe a feature request out of this? On Mar 4, 12:07*pm, "Suzanne S.

how do i remove the shaded sidebar for printing?
I guess the general feeling is that in the typical document in which some
pages have markup and some don't, the constant changing of margins/font size would be distracting. Also, document printed out with markup allow plenty of margin space for further markup by hand. -- Suzanne S.

how do i remove the shaded sidebar for printing?
If you run the following macro, it will insert the comments in line in the
text: Dim acomment As Comment For Each acomment In ActiveDocument.Comments acomment.Reference.InsertAfter " [Comment: Inserted by " & acomment.Author & " - " & acomment.Range.Text & "]" Next acomment You can then print the document as Final and the comment balloons will not appear. -- Hope this helps.

Answer: how do i remove the shaded sidebar for printing?
Hi there! I'd be happy to help you with this issue.
The shaded sidebar you're referring to is likely the "Document Map" pane. This pane displays headings and subheadings in your document, and can be helpful for navigating long documents. However, it can be distracting when printing. Here's how to remove the Document Map pane:
If you still see a shaded area when you print, it's possible that your printer is set to print background colors. Here's how to turn that off:
That should do the trick!
