Hi all, I'm wondering if there's a solution to this problem in Word.

Suppose a company has stationery already printed. They want 1 template that would have the graphics of the letterhead on it, so when they save as PDF the sheet has their information on it.

But, they want it so whenever it's printed from Word it only prints the body text and so it doesn't double up the letterhead on their stationery. (but would still print just fine from the PDF)

This would remove the need to create and maintain changes in 2 separate files (one with letterhead for external review, and one without the graphics for internal printing).

Is this solution possible in Word, or are you aware of any other software (without going to indesign and making print and no print layers) that would be available for consumer or business end-use by non-trained professionals?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer into this!

Word will do this, but you have to program it to do so.

Making a solution that is sufficiently reliable for non-trained users is a
substantial programming task that would be far more expensive than simply
making two templates.

The simplest solution of all? Put plain paper in the printer!

Nothing to do, nothing to program, and nothing for anyone to learn

Cheaper, too

Cheers
