How do I prevent a page in a document from printing by other user

[Sparky111]

We are in the process of rewriting all our test procedures and want to move
the revision blocks to the last page. When the documents are printed we want
to block the revision page from printing. These are read only files for the
rest of the plant and only the quality group would be able to make the
changes and update the revision pages. How do I set this up? We are using
Word 2003

Sparky:

Big Idea: Take the revision stuff out of the documents. Store it in a
separate document. The individual procedures will have an unchanging ID
number and a Rev Date, which can be on the title page only or in every
footer. The revision data becomes project history data, tracing the changes
for all projects etc.

Smaller Idea: Create a heading that intros the rev blocks (the rev blocks
being regular, inline body material) and make it include a page break before.
Create styles for the rev blocks that are hidden. Anybody can print the whole
doc any time, but the rev blocks won't print unless you take a few extra
steps.

Difficult Idea: Put the rev blocks in a separate section that starts a new
page. For the test procedure template, replace Word's built-in print commands
with VBA that prints all but the last section.

Ultimately any document you allow someone to see can be printed, The 'Big
Idea' is the best plan!

Question: Do you think that precedents should have a date and version in the
file name?

This topic is my issue right now. Naming convention plus I also want to
store revisions on a separate page and then not have it print.

We don't use title pages because these are letters that go to clients and
government offices. Ideally we don't want stuff in the headers/footers either.

I don't understand the part of this post referring to hidden rev blocks.

Any suggestions or help on how to track revisions and not have them print?
