Order Form

[Jeff]

I have a pre-printed three piece NCR order form that prints on a dot matrix
printer. I have scanned the order form and brought it into Word 2007. What
I want to be able to do is type the needed information in the correct spaces
on the order form and then print it out onto the pre-printed NCR form, but I
do not want the background image of the form to print. I have no problem
doing this in Illustrator or Corel but Word has got me stumped. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

You can try going to Tools > Options > Print and checking the box for "Print
data only for forms" (in Word 2007, Office button > Word Options > Advanced, in
the section "When printing this document", check "Print only the data from a
form").

However, unless the scanned image of the form is exactly the right size to match
the preprinted form, the field entries are likely to print outside the form's
spaces. Good luck!
