How to stop text boxes printing with an outline if "no line" set?

[Guest]

I use a white text-box fill in labels on drawings so that the text is clear
and not obscured by other drawing lines. Looks fine on screen, but when I
print, the text boxes print with a fine outline line, even thought the
"Format Autoshape" is set with "No Line". This looks really bad in the
print. How can I print what I see?
Regards,
GM

Graham,

in the Print dialog choose "Grayscale" instead of pure b/w printing. And
you can "see what you print" using View - Color/Grayscale - Grayscale (or
b/w) and change the settings for the objects to make them look good.

Kind regards,

Filled textboxes print with lines when you print in black and white. Yes, I
know it's annoying.

You have to use the combination of a filled autoshape and a not-filled
textbox. Then go to View/Black and White, then right-click the autoshape and
choose black and white settings, then choose "white."
