MS Word / VBA - mark a page so it is not printed

[paradiso]

I have a Word document with fill-in forms for performance reviews. I would like to put explanatory material in a table that would be appended to the end of the doc. My idea is to have prompts be hyperlinks, then if a user wishes to know more about the material they're asked to provide, they click on the link and get sent to the appropriate help cell in the table.

I wouldn't want the table to be printed out, only the forms before it. Can you mark a page as 'do not print'?

Alternatively, is there a way to have a text balloon appear if the mouse rolls over a title -- this would be a better solution, but I haven't found anything that resembles Controltip in the research that I've done.

many thanks in advance,
paradiso

Take a look at the HelpText property of the FormField object.

FormField HelpText would be best, if you are using formfields. Alternatively, you could:

use ActiveX textboxes - they have more events that can be used for something like this.

OR; use a commandbutton beside your input areas labeled Help. Have it display a Help message.
