Word: Hiding some elements when printing

[Alexey Chekanov]

Hi,

To the Word template I have to put some elements that
should be hided when I print the document.

For example, the text block with the number of the
document - if the field "number" is empty, whole block
should be hided in the print version. Second example -
the background vector picture that should have optional
preference - hide/show when printing.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Alex,

For the first one use an If ... then ...Else field that checks for the
existence of the number and displays the text block with the number only if
it is present.

For the second one, in the Tools>Options>Print dialog, uncheck the Drawing
objects item.

Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.

Hope this helps

bookmark the areas.
Have a macro t run before print that makes the font of the bookmark
ranges .hidden = True.
