Description Pierre C 2014-09-18 15:03:31 UTC
Frame style have a printable option. I found it very useful. But paragraph haven't this option. 
My solution is to use a specific paragraph style, and when I want to print a doc without printing these parts of the text, I change the colour for White

Sounds as a reasonable solution.
Setting the text invisible, would have the same effect (of course depending on the background..). And would not be faster to handle?
Both have the effect that the space of the text still is taken.
When you use hidden text / paragraph (see Help on fields) or hidden sections, the the space isn't used either..

Can you pls comment on this?
Thanks,
Cor

I don't know where is the option invisible text.

Hiding the text don't let the place to the text.

The aim of this, is to have a professor document with the text and a student document without the text but living place for the text to by written by the student

@pierre:

thanks for the reply.
Hidden text is in fields (Ctrl+F2) and Tools > Options > Writer > Formatting aid.

I understand your special wish. 
Always room for improvements/enhancements, so set to new.

Cheers,
Cor

There are several methods of hiding text:

... none however are style-based.

Regina, is there a statement from ODF about making paragraphs non-printable? If not this request is a WONTFIX.
Comment 8 Regina Henschel 2017-11-28 15:08:31 UTC
It would be https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#visibility or https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#propdef-visibility respectively.

Although lots of the xsl-fo attributes are included in ODF, this one is missing. There exists no ticket to include this attribute.

But I thing, that it is a valid request, to have an option to show or hide a paragraph, portion of text, or other object, with preserving the place this object occupies.

So please keep an eye on it. Once this property is defined in ODF we should add the ability. Removing needsUX.
