Text Box outlines

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the text box outline? It keeps printing a
0.25 point line around my textboxes and I can't figure out how to get rid of
those. I have MS Office 2003 on my computer.

Note that I need a fill on my text box.

Select the text box and from the menu do Format + Text box and choose
the fill color you want and choose No Line from the line options

I wish it were that simple, I tried that already. I couldn't get it to work
by setting the line to 0pt. either. I'm guessing there's no way around it
because I am putting the text over an image.

Does Format > Background "omit background graphics from master" help?

No, that didn't work either. Thanks for the attempt though!

If this happens when you're printing to B/W, then choose View, Color/Grayscale
and pick Grayscale.

That'll show you how PPT will print your slide to a b/w printer.

You can then rightclick any problematic objects and choose Grayscale Setting,
then pick a more appropriate setting from the popup/flyout/rollover/beg/playdead
menu.

I think you are taking black and white printout. If yes then follow below

1. click on VIEW main menu — click on COLOR/GRAYSCALE & then GRAYSCALE
2. A grayscale toolbar will appear, click on SETTING and then on GRAYSCALE.

It will solve your problem
