Disable one image from printing in ms Word

[cronoklee]

Hi I have a large image in the header of a word document that I do not
want to print. I'm printing onto headed notepaper and I want to show a
preview of how the whole page will look. It needs to work on older
versions of word as well as 2007. Is this possible please?

Thanks a lot,
Ciarán

Bookmark the image (in the following code, the bookmark name used was logo)
and then run the following macro which will toggle the display of the image
that is contained within that bookmark. To prevent it from printing, you
will also need to uncheck the Print Option for Hidden text.

With ActiveDocument
If .Bookmarks.Exists("Logo") Then
With .Bookmarks("Logo").Range.Font
If .Hidden = True Then
.Hidden = False
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True
Else
.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False
End If
End With
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End With

Hi cronoklee,

You could do this with a field coed as:
{IF{PRINTDATE \@ yyyyMMddHHmm}= {DATE \@ yyyyMMddHHmm} "" "Your image goes here."}


Notes:
1. Pressing F9 or print preview restores the display. However, since the PRINTDATE field doesn't support seconds, you might have to
wait up to a minute before you can restore the display after printing.
2. The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them
from this message.
