Hi Tracy,

Assuming you're using formfields, you could use the formfieds' help text facility. That put the help text on the status bar when the field is selected.

Alternatively, you could use a field coded along the lines of:
{IF{PRINTDATE \@ yyyyMMddHHmm}= {DATE \@ yyyyMMddHHmm} "" "Your instructions go here."}
or:
{IF{PRINTDATE \@ yyyy}= 0 "Your instructions go here."}

The first version allows the instructions to be re-displayed about a minute or so after printing (they re-hide whenever a print is done), whilst the second version hides them forever upon printing.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above examples are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message.
