Re: blank out a section of an AFPDS OVERLAY

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Overlays are static.

What you need to do is remove the signature and name from the overlay,
instead put them in a page segment.  Then you can choose rather or not
to print that page segment.

Otherwise, about the only thing that might work would be to BLACK out
that section of the page via a page segment.  In other words, draw a
big black box.
