ZombieRodeo Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I had to make a poster in publisher and create a box using the pen tool that I could then use as a text frame, yet when I exported it I found a black outline of the box which I can't get rid of. I have the stroke set to 0 and I can't work out how to remove it. Quote

You turned the stroke to 0 in the Text Frame panel? Did you also remove the stroke colour? Final option to try: Select the text frame, use Blend Options (the cog in Text Frame panel) and turn off anti-aliasing and try again. Or could you upload the Publisher document here?

thomaso Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Besides the hints above: Instead of drawing an L-shape and convert this into a text frame you alternatively can use a "normal", rectangular text frame + define indents where needed, e.g. for the first paragraph of your screenshot a right indent.

Tomasz Petrycki Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 have the stroke set to 0 and I can't work out how to remove it. I had the same problem. You have to turn off View > Show text flow. Simple but difficult to find... Quote

That gives you a blue, not black, outline, and only while viewing, not in the exported file.

Edina Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 I have a similar problem: I want to get rid of a stroke around a text frame, so I selected the text-frame and choose 'None' in te stroke-panel. But it doesn't seem to work. Did I do something wrong or is this some kind of bug? I also tried the color panel to make the stroke invisible, but that did not work either. I'm working on the lay-out of a magazine I've already made several editions of, so I'm not an entire newbie. Hereby I attach a screenshot of the page i'm working on, hope this helps. Quote

GarryP Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 Walt’s answer above should get you what you need but, just out of interest, why do you have transparent page backgrounds? I’m not saying that you shouldn’t, I’m curious is all. Quote

GarryP Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I don’t know what you mean by “a design mode”, and haven’t heard of that phrase when dealing with an Affinity application. Unless you have a specific reason for not wanting the normal white page background I would switch the transparent background OFF if I were you. Doing so would let you see what is on the page much better than having the ‘chequerboard’ showing. Quote
