Hi Ulla
It might be worth your while to save the PDF document to text using Adobe.
The "save to text" option can be found in the file menu.
You may lose a lot of the formatting but, it might get rid of the boxes.

Subject: [vicsireland] Microsoft Word Formatting Query
Hi Everyone
I have just been sent a document which I need to amend. Unfortunately, it
was first sent to me in PDF format which obviously I couldn't do anything
with. A colleague then scanned it with a PDF writer into Word format but it
has come to me now with all sorts of strange boxes in it. Could I ask if
anyone knows a way to remove boxes etc without removing text?
My other question is, is there a way to copy the contents of the document
into a fresh document without the formatting of the original, ie without
these boxes etc?
I am thinking it might be simpler just to re-type the thing.
Any help would be appreciated.
