Command Buttons and Print

[Marco]

I have a command button that I created at the start of a Word document. It
opens up a user form to input data and the then the user can print the
document once the data has been updated.
Is there code that makes the command button not print as when I print the
document is shows the button (which I labelled 'start').

Thanks
Marco

See the article "How to hide a "Print" commandbutton on a document form when
a user clicks on it" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/HidePrintButton.htm

But it might be better to use an autonew macro to display the form (Your
document should be template)

I went to the word.mvps.org page and followed the directions for the
nonprinting commandbutton. However, I can't get it to work in the protected
mode. Ift I don't have it protected, it works but the all my form field get
deleted when typing is done. Any more suggestions?
