Hide the "collapsed region" lines when printing a Mathcad report?

Is there an option that would allow to hide the unsightly "Collapsed Region" lines when printing a report from Mathcad?

Haven't found one and now have to fit the collapsed regions on their own pages which can then be removed from the printout. Was hoping for something less cumbersome.

Maybe the lines show as deletable images if exporting to Word? But would rather avoid the Word editing step if at all possible, and go directly to PDF.

Thank you.

I do not see a "select properties" option when rick clicking on area. I am using Mathcad Prime 4.0.

You can't hide the lines in Prime.

The description in this old thread refers to the much more powerful real Mathcad (Mathcad 15 or lower).

Prime is missing a lot of Mathcad's features - the various right click menus is one of them.

In Prime there is only one right click menu if the cursor is at an empty space in the sheet. If thats in an area, the only options given are Protect and Collapse.

You can't format plots, regions or areas the same way as in Mathcad.

    This works for MathCAD 15, but how do you do this in MathCAD Prime 2?

    I found mention about this here in this blog: http://blogs.ptc.com/2012/01/13/collapsible-areas-a-mathcad-prime-2-0-feature-we-dont-want-to-conceal/

    "You can also choose to print with or without the Areas. Collapsed Areas appear as gray lines."

    but so far have not found how to activate this option when printing.

    Thanks VladimirN - I had read that blog earlier. I suppose this is one of those features in MathCAD 15 that the developers didn't think us average users really wanted.
