Did you go to the format text box? You should be able to get rid of the line
by selecting "no line" from the line color option.

I've inserted a text box in a document, however I can't delete the border
that is appearing around it.

I've gone into the formatting drop down and into borders/shading and clicked
none. It still appears. Then I tried turning the border color into white so
it wouldn't print... that didn't do it either.

Any suggestions?
