I do not Want Highlight to Print
 
I am creating a letter template in Microsoft Word (2010).


My manger wants the signature areas to be highlight but he does not want the highlighted area to be printable.


I have tried everything that I know, but the yellow continues to print (the letter has to print on a color printer because of the color in the logo).


Is there a way to have the signature lines as yellow highlights and then have it not print without having to turn off and on the highlight color?


Thank you for your help!

Hi

To hide hide all highlights (on screen and print outs) do the following
  1. Click the "File" tab, and then click "Options".
  2. Click "Display."
  3. Clear the "Show Lighter Marks" in the "Page Display Options" section.
  4. Click OK.
After printig, re-display the highlights. :)

Another option if what is highlighted is text like [sign here] would be to mark the text as hidden (font formatting) and display hidden text.

Two important things though is that empty space will not highlight unless it is between at least two characters and hidden text that is not printed does not hold space on a page.

If you put two vertical lines | | in where you want the signature and highlighted those lines and the space between and then marked it as hidden, that would work.
