Hi Paul,

Many thanks for the response.

I meant Word 2010 - getting ahead of myself with 2012...

I had a good look at your "Show or hide instructions & graphics at print time" and they are certainly a good step in the right direction!

I need to make the process more user friendly though:
1. Ideally our technical authors would be able to select a paragraph or section and make all of it hidden when printing. I'm wondering if this could be done with a "Style" or a macro?
2. The text to be 'hidden-on-printing' also needs to be easily editable. With the method you outlined the author appears to be able to edit the text simply by selecting and editing in the normal way. However when the field is next updated it of course reverts back to the original contents.

Hope this makes sense. Any tips gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
