Whenever I creat a new text box it appears with a black border which I then need to manually remove. Can I set a default to creating a text box without any border.

Correct answer leo.r

With no object selected, and the Text Frame Options opened, there does not seem to be a setting for the fram itself. What am I missing?

 

 


Check your settings in Window > Styles > Object Styles > [Basic Text Frame]

When no rool is selected change its settings to your desired defaults for the open document. 
if no document is open do it gor every new document. 
Set up the default settings in the object styles too.

    I'm having a problem following your suggestion.

    First, how do I deselect all tools?

    You should not deselect all tools at once, you should deselect all objects. When you deselect a tool, you can set its default valus.
