    Unwanted line between text boxes

    Hello,

    I have three text boxes of the same fill color next to one another in succession. I have the 'no outline' option selected for each. For some reason, a line has appeared where the text boxes meet, making it appear as if the middle box has borders (it doesn't). Word thinks that they are overlapping very slightly, but I don't think they are. Printing the document has confirmed that these lines do in fact exist. How can I make them disappear?

    Thanks,
    Rook

    Without seeing the actual document, it's impossible to provide definitive advice. That said, you could instead use a single three-cell borderless table.

    Thank you, macropod. I ended up making one big text box instead, even though it somewhat changed my original plan for the design of the page.

    However, I see that you're idea would have worked, so I'll call this one solved. I could have added a table with three cells (all in one row), adjusted the height as desired, fixed the width and removed the borders. Thanks for the idea - it may come in handy in the future.

    Best,
    Rook
