Default printing

[Guest]

Is there a way to change a document's default printing so that it will not print the header and footer?

 

[Graham Mayor]

No. You can however format the elements of the header as hidden (or better
still coloured white so they don't free the space they occupied)

Actually, I think that you can set the default printing to be without
headers or footers, as long as the document has only one section and
you are willing to do a fair amount of work.

Write a macro that selects everything except the last paragraph mark
and then prints the selection. Name the macro to override the print
function. Store the macro in the document.

It is probably not a good idea, but it could be done...

You would not have to go that far to simply print the text. Select the text
and choose print > selection; however reading between the lines, I suspect
the issue here is more likely to be connected with printing to pre-printed
stationery which requires the header/footer to remain the same size when not
on display.

It is wiser to ask a new question in a new thread, and while there are some
Mac users frequenting this group, you will have more success asking the
question in a Mac group where the people who are familiar with the
idiosyncracies of the Mac product hang out. See
http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm for the simplest means of accessing these
groups.
