Normally when working with hidden text you also create a user variable that contains a boolean value as to whether the hidden values should be shown or not.
For instance, create a variable like "hidden_or_not" and set to either 1 or 0. (1 = hide values, 0 = show values). When you create the fields in the document you make the condition on whether it is shown or not based on the value of the "hidden_or_not" value. eg, hide "field_in_document" if "hidden_or_not" = 1 If you search help you'll get some further notes on working with hidden values. Alternatively (and possible more clumsly) is to put the answers as 'notes'. These can easily be printed or not at the time of printing. /paul On 6/7/05, John Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I created a document to be used in a classroom setting.
