Set the shape's line color to No Line (and, to save time for later shapes,
right-click it and choose Set AutoShape Defaults).
Then go to Tools > Options > View and check the box for "Text boundaries". When
you right-click the shape and choose Add Text, the text boundary will appear as
a dotted rectangle. That won't print.
As an aside, Word really isn't a great program for making CD labels. You'd be
much better off with a CD labeling program, such as the ones that come with most
CD/DVD burning software.
Anyway, happy birthday!
