MelissaC, you just made my day. Thanks. I wish I knew why it works, though. What do the semicolons (or double quotes) mean?

A few years later, but MelissaC you are my hero. ;;; is exactly what I was looking for to hide the contents of a cell. No more messing around with font colours. Thank you so much. Rod.

Melissa: I like that better. Instead of changing the font in my style, I should change the number format. That will work on differently colored cells as well.

Hey there just found your Blogdid want to comment on hiding info in a single or group of Cells for printing. This will hide it both when you print and also when you are viewing the cell.

Select cell or Cells-then Format->Cells->Custom and in the Custom box type ;;; These guys will hide the content of the cell from viewyou can still see the formula-just not the result in the cell.

Ah, very nice! I just thought I was getting smarter, and looked at the comments to see why I had gotten confused in the first place!

Wendy: How about now? I put the dashed line below intead of above. I think you’re right, the line above made it a little confusing.

Well, that comment was for the next entry, the missing page breaks entry. I got confused about which comments go with which entry…..

This is one of those annoying “features” that causes me extra mouse clicks 10 times a week.
