[mso] Text Box Nightmare

I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into . . . 

A small publisher has come to me with his technical book (it's FULL of
charts/diagrams/tables/text) . . . all on pages set to 5" x 12".  He has
asked me to make major revisions - moving pages around, adding items,
deleting items, etc.  

SO, in looking at the file, I see that he has done every page in a separate
text box, sometimes numerous boxes depending on the content of the page.  

And my question is . . . is there a relatively simple way to delete all text
boxes in a document (about 400 pages long) without making a "wicked" mess .
. . or should I sit down, cry, and then start over??
