Possible to hide text until it's printed?

I was curious - and I can't seem to track down any sort of answer. Is it possible to format text in a way that it remains hidden in the digital view of the document, but shows up in standard black when the document is printed?

You could do the following, but it's not foolproof because it relies on user-dependent settings, not  document-based settings. Users can easily change these settings. Also keep in mind that hiding text may change pagination.

  • Select the text that you don't want to display.
  • Press Ctrl+D to display the Font dialog.
  • Tick the check box Hidden.
  • Click OK.
  • Select File > Options.
  • Click Display.
  • Clear the check box for Hidden text under Always show these formatting marks on the screen.
  • Tick the check box Print hidden text under Printing options.
  • Click OK.
