Thanks, Dwayne, I really appreciate your reply.

I am creating a template for an edited collections of articles. The doc in question is just one of many which are collected into a book file (.indb). The client insists on author at the end of each article. I was hoping to automate operations as much as possible for whomever uses the template in the future. I did try the “print as none or white” solution which works fine, but it’s pretty kludge-y when it comes to giving instructions to the next template user. I may have to settle for that nevertheless.

Again, much appreciated!!
