Word 2004 Equations at 100% bright are no longer invisible

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi everyone,

I want to make some embedded equations invisible in Word 2004 under OS
X 10.4 without altering the pagination or layout. Setting embedded
equations to 100% bright makes them invisible in Normal and Page
Layout views, and in Word's Print Preview, but print as bright blue
boxes. Printing to PDF gives the same result i.e.bright blue boxes in
the PDF. There appears to be one for each character, the size and
position of the character, suggesting a background colour in a box
bounding the characters.

Setting 100% brightness for an embedded clip art image also gives a
visible printed image - in this case, when printed the image is a
version of the original with different shades of blue fill.

I've just migrated from OS 9 and Office 2000 with Acrobat, where I'd
been using this approach for several years to prepare "fill in the
blanks" style lecture notes from complete originals. There it worked
fine - nice blank areas where the equations are there but invisible.
As a workaround, I can overlay white rectangles from the Drawing
module in Page Layout view, but this is a considerable pain compared
to setting the equations to 100% bright and using "Repeat command".

Is there a way to get invisible pictures in Word 2004 under OS X 10.4?
