Empty Form Fields Print
In Word 2003, I created a document which contains many form fields, because
it's unknown how many a user will need to fill out for a particular job. Except for the first page, the fields do not contain any default text. What I'm finding is that EVERY page of this document prints, even though we haven't filled in every field. So we might have 2 pages of text, and 30 blank sheets coming out. I did change the option to Print Data Only for Forms, but it's still happening. Is there any other way to prevent this? |

Empty Form Fields Print
Hi ?B?TUtH?=,
In Word 2003, I created a document which contains many form fields, because it's unknown how many a user will need to fill out for a particular job. Except for the first page, the fields do not contain any default text. What I'm finding is that EVERY page of this document prints, even though we haven't filled in every field. So we might have 2 pages of text, and 30 blank sheets coming out. I did change the option to Print Data Only for Forms, but it's still happening. Is there any other way to prevent this? Forms aren't like mail merge, there's nothing in Word to "suppress blank lines" for a form. An "empty" form field actually contains five protected spaces... You'll need to use some kind of macro to delete the "extra" pages. The problem will be identifying such pages...
