I'm using MS Office Word 2003. Wanting to make text vertical I used a test box but I can't get rid of the box drawn around the text. I want the page to be clean text without boxes. How do I remove the boxes when printing the text?
Select the TextBox and then use Format>TextBox and change the colour of the lines. -- Hope this helps.

Double-click the border of the text box to open the Format Text Box dialog. On the Colors and Lines tab, choose No Line. -- Suzanne S.

Text boxes don't have borders; they have Lines, which are controlled from the Format Text Box dialog, not Format | Borders and Shading. -- Suzanne S.
