Hi patti,
If you download the document referred to in my previous post, you'll find a
topic titled 'Hide instructions at print time'. Under that heading is a Word
field with the text 'Your instructions go here.'. Copy that field into your
document.
Next, press Shift-F9 to expand the field's coding. It looks like:
{IF{PRINTDATE \@ yyyyMMddHHmm}={DATE \@ yyyyMMddHHmm} "" "Your instructions
go here."}
To get the effect you're after, replace all of "Your instructions go here."
with your picture. Remember to leave an empty space after the existing "".
Press F9 and your picture should now display without the rest of the field
coding but, when you print the document the picture will disappear and not
be printed. As noted under that topic, the field coding will keep the
picture hidden for up to a minute after printing. You will be able to see it
again if you wait until your system clock rolls over to the next minute then
select the (hidden) field again and press F9. Alternatively, you could close
and re-open the document.
Cheers
