show rows on screen, but not print them

On a spreadsheet in excel from office xp, is it possible to
display a row on the screen, but when you print the sheet it
doesn't get printed? How do I do that?
I tried hiding the row, but the admin wants to be able to see it
on screen and complained too tedious to unhide it on screen then
hide it for printing.
I have never written macros for excel so not sure if there is a
solution there, or if it can be done another way.
I also thought we could have the data from the row in another
sheet that doesn't get printed, but she (the admin) preferred the
hide/unhide solution.
Any help appreciated.
Hi Troy,
You don't need macros.
You can define two custom views from menu View, Custom Views. First unhide
the rows, then define a custom view and name it as Screen, then hide the
rows and define a new custom view and name it Print.
In this way you can easily switch between the two views.
You can also add to a Command bar the Custom Views button to switch between
the views in a simpler way: right click on a command bar, click on
Customize, choose the Commands tab, under Categories select View, then under
Commands select the Custom Views button and drag & drop on yuor preferred
bar, then click on Close.
In this way you can very easily switch between your cstom views.

translating from the Italian version of Excel...)
Hope I helped you.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
