I don't know if this is the "right way" Scot but I'm a master at
improvisation and plan B so here goes.
I convert text boxes to frames then remove the frames to end up with
text.
Format Text Box
Convert to Frame
OK
Format Frame
Remove Frame
I'm using Office XP, so don't know if you have these capabilities for
whatever version you use.=20

Subject: [mso] Text Box Nightmare=20
I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into . . .=20
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. =20
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. =20
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??
