M

Text box and captions always have a border even though no border is selected.
How do I get rid of that border

Line Color palette on the Drawing toolbar).

Format | Borders and Shading for text paragraphs and frames; Format Text
Box: Colors and Lines for text boxes.

I would like to set this as the default behavior for captions (text boxes).
Currently, I can only set this default behavior for text boxes, but not for
captions which happen to be text boxes.

In other words, selecting No Line on a caption text box and then
right-clicking and choosing Set AutoShape Defaults doesn't work? (Note that
this affects the current document only.)

It does not work for the captions. The captions are text boxes.

But it does work for the text boxes that are inserted as regular text boxes.

I can't see why a caption text box would have a border to begin with. It
doesn't on my system (never has). Are you sure the Caption style has not had
a border added (Format | Borders and Shading)?

Right click the caption, click "format text box", click the "Colors and
Lines" tab. The line color controls this. I want the "fill" "color" set to
"no fill", and the "line" "color" set to "no line", by default.

Well, I don't know why this is happening because the captions on my system
by default have no line and no fill.

Add a caption to an object with a wrapping style that is not "in line with
text"

I have done that. Do you think I answer without testing? I am telling you
that on my system I get a text box with no line and no fill. If you cannot
get this to work (and I still can't imagine why it doesn't), then perhaps
you might insert the graphic and caption inline, select both, and insert in
a frame.
