Create your object - text, outline box, etc. Select the object then

it to linestyle "Guide" which is non-printing.


How do I do that? I selected the object, then right-clicked and
selected format | line. No linestyle option.

These objects also have text and shading, which I want non-printing as
well. It seems like putting them in a non-printing layer is simpler.

I am using Visio 2003.


It's on the main menu Format - Style
or right-click menu Format - Style

but sorry, can't seem to make this work. Guide lines might not print
but setting a line to the Guide style still does print.

Pssst, let me tell you a secret. Look in the Miscellaneous section of the
shapesheet. There is a cell called "NonPrinting". If you look at the
shapesheet of a guideline, that cell is set to true.

Remember, this is a secret. If Chris finds out, Visio Guy will do a blog
about it. ;-)

Using layers seems a lot simpler to me
