Powerpoint Text Box Border

[morristhecat]

I am using Powerpoint 2002 (XP) and have inserted a picture onto my slide.

When i add a text box over the picture and select the fill colour as white it adds a black border to the text box.

Any advice on how i can remove the border?

Make the border white as well



Blue

If I wasn't Blue, I would just be a Dragon...

Remove the border COLOR by selecting the textbox's border, then click on the paintbrush of the drawing toolbar and choosing NONE.

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately neither of your suggestions work. Any further ideas?

I have tried a completely blank slide with a new text box on.

As it is there is no line/border.

Fill the box with white and it adds a black line/border and i just can't get rid of it.

What about in a brand new presentation? Same?
How big is the presentation?
Can I see it?
Where are you when you see the border? When printed? Slide Show view?

If i create a blank presentation and add a text box there is no border. All looks ok in normal, slide and print views.

Fill the text box with white and looks ok in normal and slide but has a border in print preview. Print the slide and it has a border.

The addition of the photo does not change the results so is it a bug?

Obviously from a preentation point of view it looks fine but when printing copies out for distribution there are borders on all the text boxes.

Presentation Size = 7.5 KB

I can send a copy if required.

And does all of this occur if you take the file to another PC? Perhaps it's the printer driver!

Yes. I have tried it on 3 other PC's. They are all W2K but have different printers.

If you look at it in Powerpoint 2000 it's fine. This only happens in 2002.
