Preventing cell contents from printing
 
I've got cells in my worksheet that I've changed the font color and
background color the same, so the contents are not visible when viewing the
sheet... I don't want the contents of these cells to be printed either... Is
there a way to prevent them from printing?

Depending on the specific printer and the color you chose to use, try:
<File <PageSetup <Sheet tab,
And *UNCHECK* "Black & White".

Can you hide the rows/columns?

If you use white on white, exactly what do you get?

You could use conditional formatting to change the font to white, when
printing. There's an example he
