I specified that I wanted no lines around a text box; the lines still print.

If you're printing in B/W you need to adjust your grayscale settings. Go to:
View > Color/Grayscale > Pure Black & White.
Select the text box
In the Settings toolbar, choose Grayscale
This should solve your problem.

What is the Settings toolbar? We are sendng this PowerPoint out to other
locations, so we need to make it very user friendly to print, i.e., not
giving them specific print directions, they have to use whatever the default
settings are.

Did you go to View > Color/Black & White? When you do this, a new tool bar
will pop up. It's called "Grayscale" view. Within that tool bar, you can
change settings or close the tool bar. Click on settings. Check off
"Grayscale."
Once you correct this in your Grayscale settings, you will not need special
instructions for B&W or Grayscale printing.

I appreciate your responses, but it still doesn't make sense to me. I wonder
if we are using the same version of PPT? I am using 2003; what are you using?

Instructions for PPT 2003.
I'll try again.
While in Presentation View (edit mode) for PowerPoint 2003:
1. In your Standard toolbar (usuallly at the top of your screen) click on
the View button
2. In the drop down menu that appears, click on Color/Grayscale, the click
on Pure Black and White. If you haven't used Color/Grayscale you may have to
also click on the down arrows located at the bottom of the drop down menu to
see it.
3. A small tool bar will appear somewhere in your workspace (always varies).
It's named Grayscale View. In that toobar click on the word Settings.
4. Now, on the screen where the troubling text box with lines appears, click
on that text box so it is selected/highlighted
5. Another dropdown menu will appear. Select Grayscale. The lines on the
text box will disappear.
The next time you print in black & white the line will be gone - and will
never appear again unless you manually go in and change your grayscale
settings.
Just let me know if you're still stuck. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your
problem.

After putting PPT in grayscale mode, rightclick on the shape you want to alter and
choose B/W Settings from the popup menu.
