I've been searching all around the internet and havent come up with any answers, so I'm trying here.



I've made a form for filling out, and made a control text box that, when clicked, hides several other check boxes, lines, and text boxes. Specifically, I accomplished this (after trying quite a few methods) by bookmarking each object, then in the macro for the checkbox hiding each bookmark with:

This works out great and when I print, the objects are all hidden. The problem I have is that the screen is glitchy with hiding them on screen.

See the attached "Unhidden.jpg" for the objects unhidden. "Glitchy hidden objects.jpg" shows the problem I've been having. No amount of zooming, scrolling, or resizing objects seems to fix it. Ultimately, it doesnt show when printing, which is the most important thing. However, I'm sharing this document with others and if I can clean that up, it would be nice!

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks for your time!

What you're seeing may be due to limitations in your systems display driver. Check the maker's website for an updated one.

In any event, simply hiding text is an unreliable means of preventing the display of printing of document content. That's because Word's settings that control whether to display and/or print it is a part of Word's configuration, rather than being a document property. So, if you're sharing the document with someone else, they may see and/or print the hidden content.
