can you surpress output?

[michael_leavitt@adobeforums.com]

Hi. I was wondering if you could make a text frame NOT output (or an entire layer or group etc...). I have indicated FPO areas in a mailer and would like to leave them in the file but surpress their output. I know Quark can do this but cannot find it in inDesign.

(ID CS2)

Thanks

Window > Attributes Palette
Select the text frame (or any other object)
Check Nonprinting

Confirm using Preview (w) if you like.

Use layers if you're suppressing more than one object. You could call it, er, non-printing items or some such.

Be aware that there is no way of suppressing printing of, say, the frame but not its contents, as a friend recently discovered to his cost.

thanks for the advice. I have a layer called "FPO" and everything on it is now surpressed so the printer can indicia and jet the addressess where I want them

But you can surpress the contents, but not that frame...
