How to remove the outline of a text box in Word

Managing text boxes in Microsoft Word can be tricky at times. This also applies to deleting text boxes. You may find that you are only deleting the contents rather than the box itself.

Here's how to completely remove the text box in Word and, if you accidentally delete it, how to quickly restore it.

To delete a text box in Word, you first have to select it. This part can be tricky, because you have to click the outer border to select the text box itself. If you click inside the text box, you select the text. If you delete the text inside the text box, the text box is not deleted.
