Default Getting rid of a stray Text Box

If you display text boundaries, the text box will show up (dotted line) even
when not selected.

I've got at least one stray text box lurking in a very long document.
One contained a table; I cut the table and pasted it elsewhere. Now I
cannot find the text box. I tried setting the background document
color to Green, thinking that might make the text box appear, but no
luck.

What's a good way to find this (and other?) text boxes in this
document and dispatch them, first ensuring that they contain no data?
