I am working on a school project in Word 2010. Is there a way to set text to invisible so that it is still on the document, but it will not print?
I realize that may sound confusing, so I will give you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish- I need to print a sample document with notes and comments about margin settings, tab settings, number of hard returns, etc, but I don't want the notes/comments
on the actual document. I would like to print them on a transparent sheet (so that when placed over the actual document, you can see the notes/comments). But for this to be effective, I need everything to line up perfectly...and I figure the simplest way to
do so would be to just select the document text that I don't want to print and "hide" it somehow. Is there any way to do this?
Yes, it is really that simple. The only way Word "white" text can be "printed" with Word (always with the exclusion of printers that use white ink) is to reverse text out of a dark background.
In fact, when you have the font color set to Automatic (which is the default for many styles), it will actually be black on lighter backgrounds and switch to white on darker backgrounds. You can test this with "Automatic" text by applying a dark color shade to the paragraph or table cell.
