I don't want to see the "junk" in footers { DATA\@ "M/d/yyyy"} butchieg 12/13/2008 12:50:01 AM In creating a template or word document I get all the background computer instructions in the place where I want to insert say a drop down box for a template or footer in a document. In print preview I see the document as it's supposed to be, but in print layout which is how most documents are opened, all this junk shows up. Even hyperlinks don't show up as underlined links but has all the other stuff. How can I create a document where I don't get lost with all the extraneous stuff included as I build the document.
