Data Entry Form - Hide Click here to enter text.
I am creating a data entry form and I would like the user to see the suggestion of "Click here to enter text." However, if there is no data entry required I would not like that text to not show show when printing the form. I tried selecting it and deleting it but that does not seem to work.

I know of no way to have it appear to the user but not print that doesn't depend on some special settings on the user's computer that you will not control. I think I could control it on my own computer using a combination of styles and macros but have never tried because I can't see the point.
See this page by Greg Maxey on how to modify that placeholder text to be less generic. |

You may want to train your users to keep the option to "highlight the regions I can edit" checked.

I don't see an option for Your permissions in the Restrict Editing area. How do I find that?

The document protection has to be turned on to see that.
