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 _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
