nonprintable text

Could someone help me please?

I have some text in my document which I want to be visible
when viewed electronically, but would prefer that it
wasn't seen on the printed version of the document.

I've had a go with some FilePrint macros but if I am able
to remove the text for printing, it is no longer visible
electronically. I would prefer to have the text in the
footer rather than the main doc so if that is possible,
could you please let me know.

Thanks
Mick

If this is a one-page document, or if it is a multipage document but the same "editorial" text you want in the footer is the same for all pages, you can put the editorial text in a text box in the footer, then suppress printing of the text box in the footer by clicking on Tools | Options | Print | uncheck the "Drawing objects" box. Unfortunately this method won't be suitable if you have other drawing objects in the body of your document that you do want to print.

You can also format the editorial text as hidden. Make the hidden text visible on the screen by clicking on Tools | Options | View | check the box for "Hidden text". Suppress priinting of the hidden text by clicking on Tools | Options | Print | uncheck the "Hidden text" box. The disadvantage of this method is that most people don't work with hidden text turned on in View.

A sophistication of that technique: define a new style to use for this
special text. Write your own FilePrint macro that sets this style to hidden,
prints the document, then sets the style back to non-hidden.

Thanks Garfield, but unfortunately I do have other pics
which need to be printed.

Is there any way that I can make the doc automatically
overide the users unchecked view hidden option?

Only by using a macro (eg AutoOpen) that unchecks it.

You make it sound so easy. I'm using Word97 and am
hopeless with macros.

I'm not a macro expert, but I think this will work... You could add the following to an existing AutoOpen() macro in the document, or create a new AutoOpen() macro in the document containing:

With ActiveWindow
With .View
.ShowHiddenText = True
End With
End With
With Options
.PrintHiddenText = False
End With

Just a little comment or two...
Whenever I change user settings, I first store the user's original settings,
change the settings to what I need, and then reset the settings to their
original values (usually when closing the document).

Also,
.ShowHiddenText = True
overrides the ShowAll button. Make sure you are addressing non-power users.
It would bother me to click on ¶ to hide hidden text, and still be able to
see it! ;-)

Salut!
