Use comments.
They are either located on the Insert Menu in Word 2003 or on the Review tab in Word 2007. "Pepper22" wrote: How do I insert text or a text box that does not print. I need to make notes to myself that do not print. |

HOW DO I INSERT A NOTE TO MYSELF IN THAT DOES NOT PRINT?
Well, you haven't seen fit to divulge what version of Word you're using so I
won't go into a litany for different versions - especially with Comments. However what you might look into is formatting the notation text as Hidden, which is a simple font formatting attribute just like Bold or Italic or Small Caps. Search it in Help for your version of Word & keep in mind that it is best [as with *all* formatting] to include it in a Style. Text Boxes can also be set to have no Fill & no Border so you have more flexibility with positioning, but better avoided if having the notation in-line but hidden will suit your requirements.

I am using Word 2007. Thank you for your help. When I use text formating "hidden", I can no longer see the note to myself. I want to see the note without printing it. |

Use a macro to hide the hidden formatting, print the document then display
the hidden formatting again eg ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False ActiveDocument.PrintOut ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Pepper22 wrote: I am using Word 2007.

to make me hide and unhide!!

Why not just hide/show non-printing characters? That's what I do.

HOW DO I INSERT A NOTE TO MYSELF IN THAT DOES NOT PRINT?
That seems simple enough! I was just hoping to put a few small notes in a
corner and leave them alone. They would view when I was in the doc and not print. Just sit up there and replace my short term memory.

HOW DO I INSERT A NOTE TO MYSELF IN THAT DOES NOT PRINT?
I do that often. For example, I order supplies for a large group of people.
I use a table in Word to list my supplies and email that to the woman who actually places the order. Below the table in hidden text is who gets what. If I didn't do that, I'd forget. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Pepper22" wrote in message ... That seems simple enough!

That's about the size of it! I work for a construction co. and I need to
remember who gets what and how many copies and what color the copies are! "JoAnn Paules" wrote: I do that often. For example, I order supplies for a large group of people.

HOW DO I INSERT A NOTE TO MYSELF IN THAT DOES NOT PRINT?
Don't forget that you can put this information in the document Properties as
well. I often type letters for a client that will be revised many times, and by the time we get to the final version I've forgotten whether he wanted a #10 envelope or a label; so I put this in the Comments property (Summary tab) when I create the document. -- Suzanne S.

My document changes. I have a table with the item, Office Max part number,
and quantity. I can see where your info would be help tho - just not in my particular usage.

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
However note that in Word 2003 at least you can set Word to display hidden text but not print it (tools options view & print) - and this appears to be the default in Word 2007. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Pepper22 wrote: Thank you Graham.
