Printing Forms

Copper Contributor

I have a form on which I want to use drop down lists.  When I print, the prompt "Choose an item" displays whether there's data in the field (A cell in a table) or not.  How do I supress this when I print?

Thanks Doug.  I'll probably take the easy way out and delete the content control if I want a blank, then not save changes when I close the file.

 

They don't make it easy, do they?

Hi @Ed_Johnson_43 ,

wouldn't ticking "Remove content control when contents are edited" help?

Or creating a binding which would hide the content if the space was empty?

Just thinking out loud.
