Re: Print Data Only & Ref Fields



Yes, you're missing the point. No matter. No doubt the OP has long since
lost interest.

Question: I have a form that I need to print on a pre-printed template
using word 2003.
I know how to print data only from the print dialogue, but my form has
both
form fields and ref fields and I need to print them both. Is there a way
to
do this?

I guess I'm missing something. Form fields will print. Ref fields will
print. They will print on the pre-printed paper form. Not sure what I'm
missing.

This doesn't answer the question.

Hi Jezebel,

And the method I gave the poster lets the poster print REF fields, or
DATE fields, or typed text, onto a preprinted form. Your problem with
the method is?

No, the question relates specifically to printing REF fields. The OP
already knows how to print a form 'data only' which prints only the
contents of formfields, precisely for the purposes of printing onto a
pre-printed form.

And...?
I think the question was how to print on a preprinted form. That is
how to do it. If it is done that way macros aren't needed. But you can
write one if you want. :)

First, printing on a pre-printed form is one of the most challenging
tasks there is with a computer. When you change printers or
computers you can expect to have to make changes. That said...

You can put a scanned image behind the text, set to conform to the
printed form, and print with drawing images set to not print.

I have a form that I need to print on a pre-printed template using
word 2003.
I know how to print data only from the print dialogue, but my form
has both
form fields and ref fields and I need to print them both. Is there
a way to
do this?

Alternatively, I was thinking I could replace the ref fields with
form
fields that are automaticaly filled upon exit of the earlier field
(the field
I am referencing). As of now, all my fields have descriptive
bookmark names,
and I know that I'll need to create a macro that will run upon exit
of the
first field, but don't know where to start or where to look for the
code. Any
suggestions would be most appreciated.
