Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Dotted Lines around highlighted area
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel I am working in a word document written by another party. It has areas where I can double click and I have a chose of two or three common text itmes I can choose from. It adds them to by word document. On the screen it will always show up highlighted which is good. However, when I print it has a small dotted line around them. How can I remove that small dotted box when I print? Thanks First you have to figure out where the dotted box is coming from. Select the drop-down field and look at Format>Borders and shading. What do you see? The highlighting comes from Tools>Options>View>Field Shading "Always". I also leave that on all the time, so I can see what I am doing when I am editing.

Please do NOT email me unless I ask you to. John McGhie, Microsoft MVP, Word and Word:Mac Nhulunbuy, NT, Australia. mailto:john@mcghie.name Yes I have tried that. The format Boarders and Shading shows clear or none. My problem is that the "drop down form fields option" has a dotted line around the (highlighted) text when printed. This Word option works so that when I double click on it a box appears and I can choose from two or three text items I can commonly use in my documents. It is highlighted when on screen which is good and I like that. I just don't want the dotted line to appear when I print. Thank you for responding to my question.

If so the border/box could be a part of the individual entry being inserted, no?

I think we need to get a sample from the poster so we can see what's going on. Stan, could you email Bob or myself a small sample please? We can't tell from your description how this is happening. There are several potential cause of this problem, and the cure is different for each. Cheers SignatureDon't wait for your answer, click here: http://www.word.mvps.org/ Please reply in the group.
