Command button visibility

[Anita]

I posted this yesterday in VBA User Forms group and got a
WRONG answer, so let's see if I get a better response in
this group.

I have a command button (ActiveX Control) on a document.
I do not want the command button to print. What is the
solution? Can its visible property be set to false at an
OnPrint event or something like that?

I can tell you what the solution is NOT. It is not
Tools>Options>Print>Include With Document>Drawing Objects
(set to false). The command button will still print.

Any ideas?

- right click on button in design mode
- choose format control
- select the properties tab
- uncheck Print Object

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I
ended up using the Intercepting Events solution found at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InterceptSavePrint.
htm.

It suited my needs exactly.
