Default How to get rid of frames, but keep the text in the same place? - scanned document

Problems with a scanned document being created with unwanted/unusable
frames... And trying to edit it in Microsoft Word 2000.

How do I get rid of frames in a document, but leave the text (and
spaces) exactly where they are on the page? If the frames were
tables, I could just select the option to convert the table to text. I
have never ran into frames like this before - except on .html
documents - with this ISN'T.

There is no way to remove the frames and keep the text where you see it.
If you right click the frame, choose the Format entry, you can remove
the frame... But the text will go to where ever the frame is "anchored".
