Hi there,

I put a picture on a word document and then put a text box around it so that i could write text next to picture, but now i cannot remove the line (frame) around my picture.

Please help. Thank you.

nevermind, i fixed it. thanks

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!)
