This is a great solution. Thanks!
It will require quite a bit of reformatting of the document to replace the
regular text with text boxes if I have to format each box individually,
however (the document is over 100 pages). Is there a global way to format the
insertion of text boxes so that they all go in without borders or margins and
so they will stretch to fit the text? (This way I could insert the text box,
cut and copy the existing text into it, and have the spacing on the document
remain about the same.)

and mark the text in the textboxes as hidden. The text boxes would then hold
your space for you.

I have a document that I need in two versions, one with the answers to
questions and one with the answers removed. When the answers are removed,
however, the spacing needs to remain as if they are still there. Hidden
text
does not work for this because when the text is not printed the spacing
changes (the space where the text was disappears). Is it possible to
format
the answer text so that it can be removed easily?
