  Hi Everyone, A colleague has kindly converted a PDF file to an 
editable Word
document for me, but the text is now in numerous Frames and as a result 
will be
very difficult to edit.  I have hit the same snag when scanning 
documents for
OCR and had the same thing happen. It has not usually been too much of 
a
problem, more a minor irritation.  The document I now have before me 
however
consists of 15 pages and at a glance each page comprises about 15 - 20 
frames.
What I would like to do is highlight a block of text and remove all the 
frames
in one go and be left with the text so that I can maniluate it at will. 
If
anyone can offer any advice I shall be mighty grateful, Thanks, Roger

Irritating isn't it ... What I do is simply cut everything and past it 
into a notepad document, then cut the notpad text back into a new Word 
document ... You loose ALL of your formatting, etc., but at least those 
dumb textboxes are out of there.

Thinking about it more, you could cut the text from the textbox into a 
new Word document to build the new "untexted boxed" document  instead 
of notepad. I think it should work.
