commande button - please help!!!

[Evens]

Hi,

I've already post a question here but no one can say me how it can be. At
least a response like "no you cant do it" would be ok cause I will stop to
seach.

I have a word document where I have a form in the first page. In the second
page, I have the TOC and 2 buttons on top of it. The first button was used to
update the TOC and the second was used to insert the text beside the Table of
contents.

My question is, how can I print without viewing the 2 buttons?

The document is a template and I cant place the button in a toolbar.
The document is secure then I cant just use some image in the draw tool bar.
I dont have a custom print button and dont want it, then I cant put my
programmation in it.

I just want to put 2 buttons invisible to printing... please help!

Thanks for all who tried before with good response but not the one I want.

Hi Evens

There are two possible approaches.

1. (Recommended approach). Don't put the buttons in the document at all.
Instead, create a custom toolbar and place buttons on that which call your
macros. then you needn't bother hiding anything.

2. If your buttons are members of the Shapes collection of the document,
then your print routine can set the Hidden property of each of the
appropriate shapes to true, then print, then set the property back to False
again.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your response,

But I have to send the template by email. I'm not sure that the custom
toolbar will follow the document! If it can, is it something special to do?

The other solution is correct but I dont have any print button to handle the
printing. How can you create an event to hide the button before printing and
show them right after?

Thanks again

Templates can include custom toolbars

Create two macros in your template, called FilePrint and FilePrintDefault.
When the template is loaded, these macros will be run instead of the
equivalent built-in commands whenever the print button on the main toolbar
is clicked on the Print item on the file menu is used.
