Fred4 supports printing and nonprinting objects.

Normally, printing objects are text (in text frames), images, boxes, vertical and horizontal rules. Such objects will by default appear on the printout - except if you suppress them, by selecting them on a page, and then clearing the Printable check-box on the Misc tab of the Control palette.

Nonprinting objects are: text frames, vertical and horizontal guides, top, left, right and bottom margin rules. Such objects will never appear on the printout.

You can exclude specific page objects from being printed. Such objects remain displayed on page, but they won't be printed.
