I have created an exam with the answers as hidden text. Printing a master copy of questions and answers is fine. but when I print the exam without hidden text all the formatting and spaces where the answers were is now gone, so I get a list of questions but no spaces in which to write the answer. How can I print the document whilst simultaneously removing hidden text but not the formatting?

Good day.
I have Word 2007(would give you more information, but I can't find the ABOUT option which I believe is SOP for all other software applications).
Although I have all of the options/check marks/etc., neither the print preview screen or the actual print show the hidden characters.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Got a version of Word that uses the menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
