Default how to type non-printable text

When printing a Word 2003 document with a Table of Contents, the user is
prompted, "Word is updating the table of contents. Select one of the
following options." I would like to include a notation in the document
explaining to the user what to do but I do not want the notation to print out.

You may find it easier to intercept the FilePrint command with a macro that
updates the tables of contents before printing. That way, users wouldn't need
any instructions at all.

For example:

Sub FilePrint()
Dim toc As TableOfContents
For Each toc In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents
toc.Update
Next toc
Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show


End Sub

Sub FilePrintDefault()
Dim toc As TableOfContents
For Each toc In ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents
toc.Update
Next toc
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
End Sub

Store the macros in an add-in, and install it on each user's machine.
