Default Make a selection of text visible but not print without using hidden text

I have a word document which has multiple sections that the users may or may not need to use. I have created a list of the sections with checkboxes. Clicking on the checkbox switches the selected section from hidden text and back. To do this, I had to make it so that hidden text does not show or print in this document.



Now what I need to do is make the checkbox list visible but not print. Normally I would use hidden text, but that is being used elsewhere as noted above. Any ideas on how I can do this?

Default

The options are:
1. Put all the checkboxes inside a Rich Text Content Control and have a macro that hides that CC when printing.
2. Move the checkboxes to a VBA userform which you can call any time you want to make changes
3. Make a customised Ribbon with the checkboxes on it

Options 2 and 3 removes the checkboxes from the doc itself so no need to hide them.
