How to add text not to be printed.
I want to distribute a form to all our employees. I want to include in the
body of the document instructions how to fill out different parts of the document etc. How can I add these instructions to only be seen visibly on the screen but not printed with the document. XP Word 2003. |

If it is a protected form use the help text option in the field properties
to put the help text in the status bar and/or available by pressing F1 or Use an on entry macro to pop up a message box on entry to each field as appropriate eg Sub PopUpAdvice() Dim sMsg As String Dim sVer As Integer sMsg = "Refer to status line at bottom of screen for field entry details" sVer = Application.Version If sVer 12 Then Assistant.On = True Set Balloon = Assistant.NewBalloon With Balloon .Text = sMsg .Button = msoButtonSetOK .Animation = msoAnimationBeginSpeaking .Show End With Else MsgBox sMsg End If End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Josh W wrote: I want to distribute a form to all our employees.

Thanks Graham, for me the best solution is your second option since I need
the employees to be automatically exposed to those instructions without having to check the status bar which they might easily miss. I am very bad with macros, can you refer me to any useful site that provides clear instructions. Thanks. |
