How do I remove the default border for a text box? Word help is useless on
this.

Assuming this is Word 2003 or earlier...

- Insert a text box anywhere.
- Right-click the border and choose Format Text Box.
- Set the Line Color to "No Line" and click OK.
- Right-click the border again and choose Set AutoShape Defaults.

Be aware that this also sets the default border to No Line for any other
shapes you draw from the tools on the Drawing toolbar.

Follow the same steps. The only (minor) differences are that the color
dropdown says "No Color" instead of "No Line", and after the border is set
to No Color you have to right-click one of the blue handles to be able to
see the Set AutoShape Defaults choice. You don't have to touch any ribbons
to do this.

Thanks. This worked for a text box. Tried same for image. Didn't.

I also have a 2-layer image, a jpeg file that is line art with one (small)
image inside the other. I don't see the image except with preview. There is
a border which I assume is around the large, rectangular image. How do I
delete it?
