Do not print command button

[Jan Kronsell]

I'm using Word 2003. I have a document with a command button. When I print
the document the command button is printes as well.

In Excel the Command Button object has an attribute called PrintObject, but
this attribute do not exist for Command Buttons in Word.

In Word 2002 I could avoid printing the Command Button by specifying under
Tools - Settings - Print that Drawing Obejcts should not be printed, but in
2003 the buttons are printed even if I do specify that drawing objects
shalll not be printed.

How do I avoid printing the Comand Button?

That macro will open copy of your document without macrobuttons.

Sub PrintedCopy()
Dim aShape As InlineShape
Dim Doc1 As Document
ActiveDocument.Range.Copy
Documents.Add
Set Doc1 = Documents(1)
Doc1.Range.Paste
For Each aShape In Doc1.InlineShapes
aShape.Delete
Next aShape
Doc1.Activate
End Sub

Thank you. That did the trick. Do you know by any chance why the difference
beteween commandbuttons in Word and Excel? Or is it just a MS thing?

I posted this in an earlier thread and decided I had better put it here.

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. When click the button, focus shifts to the first form field. If I
don't have it protected, it works but then all my form field get deleted when
typing is done. Any more suggestions?
