Default Why does (blank) display on pivot table

The For empty cells show... setting controls cells in the data area.
For row and column headings, you can select a cell that says (Blank),
and type a space character on the keyboard. The cell will appear blank.

I have created a pivot table and a couple of columns that I have used have no
data in them. However those columns are displaying (blank) in the pivot
table. I need it to not display anything so that once the pivot is printed
the field can be written in.

I have deleted all data in those columns, under 'options' I have checked
'For empty cells show...' and erased the field next to it but it still
displays in the pivot table as (blank).

Your thoughts...thanks
