is there a way to NOT print a specific image in a word doc?

[JimV]

Have a color graphic that looks good on screen, but doesn't print well.
Wonder if there's a way (or trick) to tell Word not to include the picture
when printing. Thanks!

Is the picture "in-line" with the text, or formatted with text flow? Is it
the only picture, or are there other graphics objects that need to print?

Finally: VERSION of Word?

Word 2003 (but I'd like to be able to send the .doc to other users who may be
running other versions and have the graphic not print).

The graphic is the title page template. It's just an image file (it's
currentlying "behind text" because there's a title text box on top of it).

Thanks!

So, the document does contain other graphics that have to print. In this
case, it's not going to be simple, because you can't simply turn off the
printing of graphic objects (Tools/Options/Print).

In that case, the only possibility would be a macro that explicitly removes
the graphic. Question is, though, whether a macro is acceptable if you're
distributing the file...
