non-printable auto shape

[Pa-Per Vue Studio]

Is there a way to make auto-shapes and text box outlines non printable? I'm
making a cd label and would like to see the outlines of the label but don't
want them to print. I also want to outline a text box for the title of the CD
but don't want the outline to print. Thanks in advance to anybody who can
help.

PS. Today's my birthday! Whooppee!

Set the shape's line color to No Line (and, to save time for later shapes,
right-click it and choose Set AutoShape Defaults).

Then go to Tools > Options > View and check the box for "Text boundaries". When
you right-click the shape and choose Add Text, the text boundary will appear as
a dotted rectangle. That won't print.

As an aside, Word really isn't a great program for making CD labels. You'd be
much better off with a CD labeling program, such as the ones that come with most
CD/DVD burning software.

Anyway, happy birthday!
