stop shapes from being printed

Hi all,

in Word i have a rectangle that i want to be visible, not editable end not printable.
so i drew it in the header (thi smakes it uneditable in normal writing mode)

But how do i make it not printable

'Me.Shapes(1). ' does not provide a PrintObject property.
Adn i cant find an OnPrint-event or anything.

Ow, and making a custom print-button is not an option since the
users are mostly computer-illiterates (spelled correctly??)

any suggestions?

Thanks alot in andvance

is there really noone who can help me?

As far as the disabling of shape printing, I think you can only disable ALL the shapes from printing as far as I can tell - you can't print some shapes but not others on a single document:

VB Code:

Options.PrintDrawingObjects = False
Application.ActiveDocument.PrintOut

I've also found this site which tells you how to intercept a request for a document print...
