[Solved] Printing a text document without border

[bha191]

I am trying to print a text document and as you can see from the file there is always a Gray border around the text before I print. I have tried going to Tools/Options/OpenOffice/Appearance and unchecked all the boxes there and hit save, but the box is still there and prints as well. What can I try now.

Thanks

Turn off the Border settings in your paragraph style definitions.

Turn off the Border settings in your paragraph style definitions.

The attached document's paragraphs have the Text Body style and it doesn't have borders set, as shown in the blue box.

there is always a Gray border around the text before I print.

But Format → Paragraph shows that direct formatting (Format menu) has added very narrow faint grey lines around paragraphs, as shown below. This direct formatting overrides the style properties. If you use Edit → Select All, then Format → Default Formatting, the paragraphs will revert to the Text Body style and the lines will disappear. Using direct formatting causes many troubles for people. Read about styles in Help → Index or in User Guides (PDF) or searching for topics about them in the Writer Forum.
