how do i get rid of all the boxes when i print the flyer

See my post (1st two paragraphs) to UG. The OP's original post was difficult
to decipher. The second post was much clearer when "add text" was posted.

As I said, the default has been that way on all my versions of Publisher.
Had to reset each one every time I installed a new version of publisher. It
may be that since I have all versions of Publisher residing side by side on
the same machine this may be the effect. (I still get version 2.0 files from
some clients and the newer versions just don't open them.)

What did you mean about the last line... Law against????

I assumed the poster was asking about graphic objects. Otherwise all he has
to do is select the text box, select line color, click no line. There
should be a law against text messaging.

By default a created text box will have a line around it. To remove the
text box line, right click on the box. Left Click on Format Text Box, On
the Color and Lines tab, click on the Color drop down under the area
called line. Click on No Line. If you want this the default for all
following text boxes click the radio button at the bottom that says
"Apply settings to new text boxes" and then click OK. All new text boxes
should be without lines.

Hope this helps, let us all know.

If the flyer is a Paper Direct special paper template, you cannot
delete the

I have used Publisher since 1.0(it was immediately upgraded to 1.0a). Never in
all the versions was the text boxes created with a border. I hated that the text
boxes were filled with white, it was great when 2002 came out without the fill
feature. The developers thought the snake(?) type outline was good in 2002.
That, thanks goodness, was eliminated in 2003.

Have you ever considered changing the Normal.pub?

I use Publisher 2.0, 97, 2000 and 2003. On every version of Publisher that I
have ever used, the current default setting placed a border around the pictures
and text boxes when they were created. Whether this was a setting from some
other program causing this I don't know but it has happened on every system I
have owned or used. I have had to turn off the box by doing just what I told
the OP to try. If what I told the OP to try works, great. If not so what, I
asked him to tell us if it worked.

If, when publisher is installed, the text border is not a default option, it
may have been set by the OP or someone else using the machine. My post will
fix the issue.

UG, your handle is definitely correct. You are one grumpy SOB. I have seen
you many times post garbage and where is your fix for this person's problem.
At least I have tried to help him using my past experiences. Bug off!

What version are you using?

Better yet, what planet are you posting from?

I'm not taking sides but thought I'd interject simply because I maintain
a "pristine" installation of Pub 2003 just so I can be sure of the defaults
when necessary...

Actual *Text Boxes* - created using the Text Box Tool - have a dashed border
that defines the space occupied by the box, but that border does not print.
IIRC, this has been the case in prior versions going back to '95 at least.
Further, it's pretty much the same in any other DTP program. Other apps -
such as Word - it's exactly the *opposite* - true Text Boxes have a black
printable border which has to be turned OFF if you don't want it to print.

Drawn *Rectangles*, however, *do* have a printable solid black border which
is retained if text is added to the rectangle.

If the OP is drawing rectangle autoshapes,then using Add Text, the borders
have to be removed for them to not print.

Never had to once I set the default, back to what it apparently was supposed
to be, by the method described.

Still haven't heard from the OP to see if that person's problem has been
solved.

I'll bet Mary means when people post questions using as few words/letters as
they can get away with. As if they are sending a text message and are
charged per word/letter.

Lots of posters these days are abbreviating all sorts of words. For the
uninitiated it can be hard to decipher. This poster didn't abbreviate, but he
didn't use capitalization. I believe that goes along with text messaging too. My
grown up son is slipping into this. He is a girls soccer coach for the local
school, the girls are forever messaging him. Some of the emails I receive from
him are not from the man I went into debt for so he could have a first class
college education.

.... And to make matters worse, many are starting to employ *verbal*
conversation that's based on the same type of "shorthand" with the
expectation that everyone should understand what they "mean" to convey. Is
it coincidental that there was recently a report in the news about
narcissism having been on the rise since the mid'80s?

Gotcha. I just thought this one didn't know how to properly formulate a
question. There are lots of people out there that can't comprehend the
proper structure for a sentence that have computers. Unfortunately there is
no literacy test for purchasing a computer or getting an internet
connection. But as you said, and the other posters under this subthread
said, a lot of people are using the abbreviations in text messaging to
attempt a conversation on newsgroups.
