I guess; although, from the description of this feature, I certainly thought
it only effected how the displayed version of the document looked, not how
it printed.
We now have a routine to intercept all Word printing function, in all
documents, via a global add-in template, which does the following (just in
case anyone sees any problem with doing this, thought I'd run it by everyone
here):
Sub FilePrint()
With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
If .ShowHiddenText Or .ShowAll Then
.ShowHiddenText = False
.ShowAll = False ' in case it allows for hidden text to be shown
' now must repaginate because the show hidden text option can
' cause improper pagination.
ActiveDocument.Repaginate
End If
End With
End Sub
Thanks.
