Hide placeholder text if nothing is entered
Totally new user to Word as a Form tool - I have created a form with various
fields that may or may not be filled out depending upon the number of applicants. Can I not print the placeholder text if nothing is entered in the space? Thank you! |

Can I not print the placeholder text if nothing is entered in the space? Thank you! Add the following macro to the template for the form (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed). It changes the color of the placeholder to white, prints, and then restores the color. Sub FilePrint() Dim cc As ContentControl Dim col As Long With ActiveDocument ' hide placeholders For Each cc In .ContentControls If cc.ShowingPlaceholderText Then col = cc.Range.Font.Color cc.Range.Font.Color = wdColorWhite End If Next Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show For Each cc In .ContentControls If cc.ShowingPlaceholderText Then cc.Range.Font.Color = col End If Next End With End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
