I'm working on an word document that consists of several chapters (separate
word documents). I'm using the outline mode and have attached everything as
sub-documents. All has been going well until I started working on
reformatting styles. At first things were going well, but now anytime I use
the clear formatting selection (in print layout mode) under the styles menu
it converts all of my text into frames IN THE WHOLE DOCUMENT, not just the
selected text. I can select all the frames and remove them (right click
frame, format frame, remove frame) but eventually when I go to clear the
formatting on selected text it pushes everything back into frames. I'm at a
standstill until I can figure this out. I need all of the text to remain in
the document and NOT in frames.

PS I noticed that the sub-documents when opened do not contain the text in
frames, even though the master document does. Saving the master document
also saves any changes to the sub-document but these do not retain the frames
even if they appear to contain them in the master.
