Adobe Acrobat 9.0 - removing borders around fields

I've created a form in Adobe Acrobat and have all the fields added.  I just discovered I need to add a little more text that wasn't in my original document.  To do this I added a text field and entered the statements I wanted.  But, because it is a field there is a gray border around it like my fill-in fields.  How do I get rid of the border?  I went into the field properties and set the border color and fill color to none but still there is a border.  I tried setting the field border to white but it is still showing the gray border.  Anyone know how to get rid of the border - it sounds like a global setting that is overriding my field setting.  Thanks for any help!!
