From a WP non-wizard ...
I use WP for typing many quizzes, exercise sheets, etc., in the courses I
teach.  What I would like to do is type the document once, including
underlining, etc, but with all the correct answers included.  I would then
like to have the ability to print out this master document once with the
answers NOT printed (to be used as masters for duplication), and then a
second time with all the additional information also printed. The idea is
to be able to do this printing by setting one switch.  It also naturally
eliminates almost-duplicate documents. 

The method which I presently use is the following:
The text is typed in normally, except that I enter each section of text for
suppression as a graphics equation box.  (I have set up a macro to enter
this, so that's not complicated now.) When I want the version to be printed
with blanks, I set GRAPHICS at 'Do Not Print' under S-F7, and when I make a
copy with full text, I can reset the Graphics switch at one of the other
levels.  This works, but I am not happy with the graphics text font used. 

Does anyone have a better idea, or failing that, does anyone know how to 
gain control of the characters generated by graphics?

Thanks in advance.
