My document is a workbook, which is designed with a particular style
designated for the answers to appear in red when printing the teacher
version of the workbook; when printing the student version, I change
that style's font from red to white. This makes the answers disappear
and would work perfectly except for the fact that there is a gray
watermark in the background; any answers that cross the watermark show
up. I was wishing for the ability to make the text transparent instead
of white...is that possible?
 
Unfortunately, no.

Hidden text doesn't take up space, which is usually the issue in documents
of this nature.

Hi Cochran,

If the answers are in a separate style, have you tried using a style with the Font for that text set to 'hidden' rather than
changing colors?

And, if you need those answers to take up space, put them in a frame that
will hold the space for you. The frame can be a part of your style.
