    Cool Format text in cells not to print out

    I have a spread sheet that I have used "check boxes" in column E. I formated each check box to represent a cell (E8, E9, E10, etc) The cell shows true if the check box is checked and false if not checked. Here is my problem. When I print the sheet, the True and False results print behind the check box. I want to [B]stop the "True or False" results from printing. How do I do this?

    Change the font color in those cells to be the same color as the cell. Or format as ;;;

    See Help for Create or delete a custom number format and post back if you don't understand.
