Is there a way to set an image as non-printing in word?

[Sparkio]

I am trying to set up 2 documents,
one where the background image needs to be seen but not printed,
and the other document where it needs to be seen and also printed.

I've tried placing the image into the header and footer but it dissapears in
the print preview when I set the wrapping to behind text.

I've tried setting as a placeholder but this doesn't seem to do anything.

I know there is a preference in word when printing to include 'drawing
objects' but as these documents are for a client i cannot set their
preferences for them and the printing/non printing part needs to be document
specific.

Hope this isn't too garbled to understand, any help anyone?

Hi Sparkio,

You can put the image or its anchor into a field, coded as:
{IF{DATE \@ YYYYMMDDhhmm}<> {PRINTDATE \@ YYYYMMDDhhmm} "Put the image or its anchor here"}

Notes:
1. The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them
from this message.
2. After printing, the image will remain hidden for up to one minute, after which a print preview will re-display it.
