View text on screen but not printed

Post by Samantha »

I'm sure I've done this before, but I'm drawing a total blank. In Word 2007, how does one show text on screen that does not print out on paper?

All I had to do was post the question for my memory to kick in. Just in case anyone else is wondering, it's a two-step process:
  1. Make sure in Word Options - Display, the box for hidden text is ticked (or alternatively, choose "show all formatting marks"), then
  2. Format the font as "hidden" -- Ctrl+D will bring up the font dialog

AND in Word Options - Display, make sure the check box for Print hidden text is cleared.
