Autoshape borders

[Julie]

I have two rectangular autoshapes overlapping eachother.
How do I eliminate the border line that is showing where they intersect?
Other than removing the borders altogether?

You can't do this in PowerPoint. If the autoshapes are plain colours, you can
manually add an additional rectangle with no line, and covers the intersect
borders instead.

I'm wondering why you want to do this? If you mean that you would like the
shape of two intersecting rectangles with a continuous border then you can
draw it simply using the freehand tool in autoshapes > lines. If you wish you
could trace the two rectangle shapes.

One option is to right click on each shape then choose a % of transparency
for overlapping shapes - e.g when using three overlapping circles

Hope that helps - worked for me.

cheers

Try drawing the two rectangles together as a freeform autoshape.
