Default
Click inside the text box. If the box doesn't have any borders, you'll see a dotted outline surrounding it. Click that outline. Then press the Delete key.

For a text box with borders, you can click the border directly, and then press Delete.

The reason why the appearance is different when you convert your file to Word 2013 format is that Word 2013 uses a new layout engine.
