[Solved] Avery Templates: Getting Rid of Grey Lines

For some reason every single Avery Template has these strange grey outlines for each label. There is nothing that can be done to get rid of them. I have tried setting the table frame to no outlines. Tried changing all the colors to white. Nothing seems to work. Here is a link to the template directly. If anybody figures out how to accomplish this let me know.

Do they appear when printing?

Yea that's the problem because I get these weird grey lines on parts of the labels. I say parts because it's obviously impossible for labels to line up perfectly. The grey lines are supposed to be the outlines of the actual labels themselves.
I'm sorry but I also forgot to mention the following:
I am using
OpenOffice 3.0.1
Build: 9379
on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 64bit

I spent 3 days on this stupid problem. However, I did just figure it out.
Those templates for some reason have items which are considered drawn shapes representing each label.
Somehow I accidentally just clicked on the shape and was able to delete it. Not sure why there isn't an easier way to distinguish between table cells and shapes.
Anyway for anybody using Avery Templates:
Select the outline of the label and press "delete" once the green resize squares come up. This is what causes the outline of each label to print out.
