Ed,
I saw an old post by you on a Kathleen's Weblog about how to prevent printing content control placeholder text. I have searched your blog and haven't found any information on that topic. Would you mind, providing some guidance on how to achieve this?
I ended up emptying the Content Control placeholder text in beforeprint event handler and reported it as a bug in Word that it prints the placeholder text.
Actually thanks for reminding me, I need tocheck this in 2010 ;-)
Let me know if you need the code, I have it but not right here with me.

The code would be great. I tried to work through it, but no luck. I am starting with existing content controls and I've had problems with identifying the index/ID of the controls. Thanks for the help.

OK, I'll lookup the code, meanwhile I remember I was using the the Tag property of each control to store a unique ID and had a little helper method to find them by ID/Tag.

Hey Ed,
I'm having trouble with trying to obtain the tag of an existing content control. If you have that code, it would be helpful. Thanks again.

Sorry it took a while, here is the code:
//Clearing content for a control:
CcControl.LockContentControl = false;
CcControl.LockContents = false;
CcControl.Range.Text = "";
//Clearing a placeholder text:
occ.SetPlaceholderText(null, null, "");
/// Find content control in document by Tag, note the CC's in Headers and Footer are in a seperate collection.
private Word.ContentControl GetCC(string Tag)
{
foreach (Word.ContentControl cc in Application
.ActiveDocument.ContentControls)
{
if (cc.Tag == Tag)
{
return cc;
}
}
return null;
}
Although a loop like this looks expensive I have an Add-in/Template that uses this for 25+ controls in a doc and there's no performance problem at all.
HTH,
Ed
Thanks, Ed. Here's hoping Microsoft realizes there is no value in printing an empty control and provides a fix sooner than later. Take care.
