Controls may not be printed

[Pim]

I am building a template in Word 2000 for producing documents with larger
parts of pre-defined texts that on several pre-defined places need to be
completed with also pre-defined characters and sometimes free text. To enable
the user to add the pre-defined characters, I added pushbutton controls. They
work fine, but I cannot find a way to prevent these pusbuttons to be printed
when the resulting document is printed. I was looking for a property that
disables it to be printed, but did not find it. Is there another solution?
