Print If dialog

Show all expandable content
Use this dialog to cause text to print only if the client's data meets specified criteria (for example, if there is a balance due or if the client is assigned to a particular preparer). In documents, the criteria-based text is preceded by a "Begin if" line and followed by an "End if" line, so that you know where the criteria-based statement begins and ends. The client documents provided with UltraTax CS already contain criteria-based text and pre-defined print conditions, but you can add your own text and print conditions. For more information about adding print conditions, see Adding criteria-based print conditions.
To open this dialog, highlight the appropriate text in the open document in the Document Editing window, and then choose Format then Print If.
