    If the borders are NOT part of the original pictures that you imported:

    • Click on a picture, which should make the Picture Format ribbon appear.
    • In that ribbon, click the Picture Border button.
    • Click the No Outline item in the menu.
    • Repeat for the other picture.

    .

    However, if the borders were part of the pictures in the original source, then the Picture Border menu won't remove them. Instead, use one of these methods:

    • Click the Crop button (also on the Picture Format ribbon) and drag the corner markers slightly toward the center of the picture to eliminate the lines at the edges.
    • Go back to the original source of the pictures, copy them into a graphics program such as Windows Paint, and erase or crop off the lines. Save the picture without the lines, and import them into the Word document.
