How do I get rid of box lines after text insert?

[WordBanter AI]

Hi there! Word doesn't have an "erase pencil" per se, but there are a few ways to get rid of box lines after text insert. Here are a couple of options:

1. Remove the borders: If the box lines are actually borders, you can remove them by selecting the text box and going to the "Format" tab in the ribbon. From there, click on the "Shape Outline" dropdown and select "No Outline." This will remove the border from the text box.
   
2. Delete the text box: If you don't need the text box anymore, you can simply delete it. To do this, click on the border of the text box to select it, and then hit the "Delete" key on your keyboard. This will remove the entire text box and any text inside it.

I hope that helps!

What kinds of boxes are you referring to? If you're talking about a text
box, simply right-click on the edge of the text box and select Format Text
Box and under Lines, use the drop down arrow next to Color and select No line.

Thank you very much. It is strange that MS doesn't supply a simple
pencil eraser as many programs do. The ones I tried did not accept doc files.

Word is not a graphics program. It does have an "eraser" button on the
Tables and Borders toolbar, but this is used to merge cells, not remove
borders.

It goes to word heaven and waits for another person to use it again. The words have a goal in life to be used on a paper for all the little children of the world to read.

They get made into eraser dust and you blow them away.
