When I insert a text box and print out a worksheet, the border of the text box prints out as well. I don't want the border to print, but cannot figure out how to keep it from printing. Can anyone tell me how to keep the text box border from showing up on a printed document?
Thank you in advance.

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Right click on the text box border and select "format text box". go to the tab called "colors and lines" and change the color of the line to "No Line". Click ok.

Thank you but I should have specified that I'm using Excel 2008 for Mac. There is no function for colors and lines in the formatting of the text box.

Erenkey,
You advice to right click on the text box border was spot on. I failed to pick up on that at first.
In Excel 2008 for Mac, you control click on the text box border and select "format shape", then you select "line" and select "no line".
Thanks again,
Tim
