Default Removing a frame from a table

I read the post about how moving a table creates a frame around it, which was
great info., thanks. But I cannot get the frame to go away once I move the
table. There is no option under "Format -- Frames" for deleting the frame.

We use 2000 and are moving to 2003, and are in the process of testing. Word
2000's Help says there should be, so does Word 2003's Help, but neither of
them show that option.

What am I doing wrong? Can a frame be removed from a table once it is
created?

Thanks.

In Word 2000 or above, go to the Table tab of Table Properties and set the
text wrapping to None. Although setting the wrapping to Around does, in
effect, put the table in a frame, this process is transparent in Word 2000
and above. Only if you open the document in Word 97 or earlier would you
actually see a frame.
