How to: show text on screen but do not print

Hi,

I am making a kind of template-document for others to use. I would like to
use some areas to type short instructions for the user, but obviously these
should not be printed (the finished doc is for third parties to receive).

I have tried using remarks, and hidden text, but both have substantial
disadvantages. I would like to mark the 'hints' as some kind of special
style or something, and define this as unprintable, but still have it shown
permanently on screen.

Does anyone know how to do this?

This is how I solved it, in case anyone wants to know:

I put in drawing objects, in which I added the text. I then made two macros,
set to run when the Print-button (FilePrintDefault()), or the Print dialog
(FilePrint()) is activated. These macros turn off the printing of drawing
objects, and afterwards reset this setting to the state it was before. (in
Tools, Options, Print, Drawing objects).
