Just in case there are others looking to solve this, I'll put the solution up!

Different Solutions, for different cases

1st
  • Click once on the picture to select it
  • On the toolbars or ribbon look for the 'Borders' control
  • If it's highlighted, click it to remove the border

If that didn't solve it for you

2nd
  • Right-click the picture
  • cChoose 'Format Picture'
  • Go to the 'Colors and Lines' tab
  • In the Line section
  • Change the 'Color:' choice to 'No Colour'

And if THAT doesnt solve it for you, then the image must have had a border BEFORE being pasted in word, so

3rd
  • Click once on the picture to select it
  • You should now see (2003) a floating toolbar called 'Picture' (2007) have some new tabs in the ribbon to play with
  • Look for the 'Crop' symbol (it's like two corners, overlapping - if you hover the mouse over the icons, you'll find it in the end)
  • Choose this tool
  • Now, when you grab the picture handles you will find that, instead of resizing the image, it cuts bits off
  • Remove the frame!
  • (The only problem here is, Word isn't the most accurate cropping tool in the business - so, if you need a bit more finesse, I suggest you move it into a graphics editor at this stage!)
