Textbox prints with border

How do I prevent the textboxes printing with a border?

I tried making box line white but that evens prints black. Slide does not
show a border. Border only shows in print preview and when printed.

Could it be related to my print driver because when printed by others,
slides print correctly (without border)?

Answering for the benefit of anyone searching for answers on this in future.

If you're printing black and white, textboxes that have fills will print
with a border around them, even if you do not have a line assigned or it's
the same as the background or whatever.

The only way around this I'm aware of is to place a filled autoshape beneath
the textbox and remove the fill from the textbox itself.

And yes, it's a pain. I'd much rather the B/W didn't print lines on the
edges of filled textboxes unless I asked for them to be there!

I encountered this same thing when printing in black and white. I tried allthe remedies suggested and none worked. I finally did a cut and paste of my object on a new slide and saved it as a .pdf. I then inserted the .pdf image of my object and the lines were gone.

In the Print options, set to color from Grayscale / Pure Black and White. My printer doesn't print in color, but setting the Print option to color in PowerPoint will remove the lines.

I seemed to get past this problem by making the line of the text box completely transparent! Hope it works for you!
