Yes. OS 10.3.2. I'll try the 'hide' route. I was just being lazy, having
no idea that that could cause a problem. I've always used 'hide' before,
but because of the card layout, it seemed much simpler just to create a
dummy button that covered everything I didn't want to print.
Thanks for the suggestion.
