Styles that display but don't print
Is it possible to format text that displays in a document but does not
print? (This can be done for Excel macro-buttons - you set the property as non-printing) Jeff |

Yes, you can format it as hidden and set your view options to show hidden
text. However, I think if you format the display text of a macrobutton in Word as hidden, it will not display. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Unfortunately that's too broad a brush - there is other hidden text in the
document that I want to remain hidden. Jeff Yes, you can format it as hidden and set your view options to show hidden text.

Hi Jeff,
If you want the space occupied by the nonprinting text to collapse during printing, then Hidden is the only attribute you can use. If it's ok to maintain the space, you can define a character style that you apply to each area of nonprinting text. Change the style's font color to white, print, and change the color back to black. A macro can do all the color changes and printing in one step. Reply if you need more information. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Jeff wrote: Unfortunately that's too broad a brush - there is other hidden text in the document that I want to remain hidden.

I think I understand
There may be a combination of hidden paragraph styles and hidden font styles that allows me to achieve my objective. I'll experiment. This should be a wish-list item "Dear Mr. Microsoft Please can I have a font property that makes it visible on screen but hidden when printed. This will allow me to add document navigation hyperlinks that are usable in the on-screen document yet omitted from the printed document."

"Dear Mr. Microsoft
Please can I have a font property that makes it visible on screen but hidden when printed. This will allow me to add document=20 navigation hyperlinks that are usable in the on-screen document yet omitted from the printed document." Hi Jeff, The correct address for this is Santa Claus North Pole No... no wait... it's http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp You could also post it as a suggestion in this newsgroup, if you use the = beta web interface: http://beta.communities.microsoft.co.../en-us/defaul= t.aspx?dg=3Dmicrosoft.public.word.docmanagement Usually, MS doesn't monitor these newsgroups, but they should look at = your suggestion, especially if it should get a lot of votes from other = users. Regards, Klaus |

Change the style's font color to
white, print, and change the color back to black. A macro can do all the color changes and printing in one step. Reply if you need more information. I'm sure I can do that with a macro and yes, it's ok to maintain the space during printing. Can you remind me how to substitute the Print command in a document so it runs my alternative macro. Jeff |

Name your macro FilePrint or FilePrintDefault. Needless to say, it needs to
include the functions of the original command. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Jeff,
To be more explicit about what needs to be done: - First, define a character style, adding it to the template. The name can be whatever you want, let's say NonPrint. It can have the same formatting as the default style, or it can have your choice of font name and size. Apply that style to each piece of text (in any document based on this template) that should display but not print. - In the same template, create two macros. One that's named FilePrint will run when you use the menu item or the Ctrl+P shortcut, which normally shows the Print dialog. One that's named FilePrintDefault will run when you click the Print button on the toolbar, which bypasses the dialog. - Make the contents of the macros as follows: Public Sub FilePrint() On Error Resume Next With ActiveDocument .Styles("NonPrint").Font.Color = wdColorWhite Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show .Styles("NonPrint").Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic End With End Sub Public Sub FilePrintDefault() On Error Resume Next With ActiveDocument .Styles("NonPrint").Font.Color = wdColorWhite .PrintOut Background:=False .Styles("NonPrint").Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic End With End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sun, 16 Jan 2005 10:51:16 -0600, "Suzanne S.

Excellent that does the trick
The only problem is that now, when the file loads, Word's anti-virus protection mumbles about unsigned macros. The only way round this is to set it to trust access to VBA projects - which may no be allowed in the environment in which this will be deployed! So... is there an FAQ somewhere that explains how to sign a macro? Jeff Hi Jeff, To be more explicit about what needs to be done: - First, define a character style, adding it to the template.
