I have a series of dropdown boxes on a form but am unable to remove the
dropdown button and box graphic surrounding the final response so that it
shows up on prints.
How do I remove this?

It really isn't meant to be removed.

One scheme that might work is a macro (actually a pair of macros, FilePrint
and FilePrintDefault to intercept the menu command and the toolbar button,
respectively). The macro would delete each dropdown field and replace it
with a plain-text copy of the selected entry; print the document; and then
either call Undo the proper number of times, or simply close the document
without saving and then reopen it.

Kludges like this are why Greg Maxey told you in another thread that
collecting information through a UserForm and placing it into the document
is preferred over protected forms. Because there would be no dropdowns in
the document itself, this issue wouldn't occur.
