How to have text not print

G

Gerhard Weiss

Can text be coded to not print but only be viewed?

I am printing on a pre-printed form.
The form has 5 columns with the heading
already printed. So in my word document I do
not have headings. It would be nice to
show the column headings, so the
user can see them, but not print the
column heading.

Thanks

There's no built-in mechanism for this. You can do via VBA: create a style
for your non-print text, then create macro called FilePrint. This macro will
run in place of the built-in print command. In the macro, set the color of
the non-print style to white, print the document, then set the style back to
black.

If you want to see you text in your document but not
printed then you can select the text to be hidden through
format and in the tools and option menu - select the
print tab and ensure there is not tick in the box for
including hidden for printing.

Thanks
