On reflection, make that

Sub DeleteFrames()
With ActiveWindow
For i = 2 To .Panes.Count
.Panes(i).Frameset.Delete
Next i
.View.Type = wdPrintView
End With
End Sub

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

I tried out your suggestion but it didn't make any difference. The
delete option in the frames menu remains faded, possibly because I
have not clicked on a frame. I haven't clicked on a frame because
there is not one visible.

If I right click on the document, I am given the option "Save Current
Frame As..." and also the option "Frame Properties..." so the frame
does exist. It just can't be seen to click on.

As you have probably realised, frames from the Frames toolbar are
intended for web pages. If the frame you created is still associated
with the document, the delete frame button on the Frames toolbar
will be available. If you have removed it it will not. If the frame
has been removed. Change the view to print layout. Add a character
to the document then delete it then resave the document. The print
layout view should then be retained.

While attempting to add a frame to a graphic in a Word 2003
document, I accidentally clicked "New Frame Left" on the Forms
toolbar. Now, although the document has been saved in Print Layout
view, every time it is opened all 200 pages appear in Web Layout
view. Although it is a simple matter to change the view manually,
is there a way to undo the "New Frame Left" command so that the
document will appear in Print Layout view whenever it is opened? No
frame is visible when the document is opened. The document prints
okay in Web Layout View although on the screen the text is pushed
to the left. When saved, the 20,442 KB file becomes a 22KB file.

I hope that someone can help. I have spent weeks searching the
Internet for a solution.
