Hide object on slide when printing

[Jason Morin]

Hello an TIA. I'd like to hide an object (whether it be
an autoshape, textbox, imported image) on a pre-
determined slide when printing. My code doesn't work. And
my other question is, how do I *name* my objects so I
don't have to refer to them as shape(1), shape(2), etc.
Thanks.

Sub HideObject()
With Application.ActivePresentation
.Slides(1).Shapes(1).Visible = msoFalse
'I'd really like Shapes("employeelist")
.PrintOut
End With
End Sub

Check out Example 8.7 on my site. It will allow you to name slides and
shapes:

Just click on "Examples by Chapter" and "Chapter 8."

This'll give you the code for renaming a shape:

Now, what's your code not doing that you want it to?
