Turning Off a Text Box's Border

Summary: When designing your document, you might use text boxes to add text at various places. These text boxes include borders, by default. If you don't want these borders visible, apply the simple steps in this tip.

When you insert a text box in your document, Word automatically places a border around it. This is great for some document designs, but you may prefer to remove the border. To remove the border from a text box, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the text box. You should see a series of handles appear around the perimeter of the text box.
  2. Select the Format tab from the Ribbon. (This tab is available only when the text box is selected.)
  3. Click the Shape Outline option in the Text Box Styles group. Word displays a list of options.
  4. Select No Outline.
