I am creating a form in Excel that has TextBoxes where info is inserted. We print this on a pre-printed form that already has boxes on the sheet. Everything is ok, except I can't get the TextBox outline to disappear! Right now it looks like a box within a box. I set the BackStyle to "Transparent" but that didn't work. Nothing else is in the Help menu. So please help! Thanks.
 
right click on the box >format textbox > colors and
lines .

Set lines to 'no lines' or maybe white if you can't do
that.

Thanks, but when I right-click on the box, I don't get an option called "Format TextBox." I get other options, but none of them have any control over color or lines.
 
Make sure you have selected the box(click on it) then
right click on the border of the box. You should then see
the format text box option. Otherwise you can access it
through the format menu on the top of the screen but it is
a more limited interface. Beyond that I'm not sure how to
help you.
