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

Select the entire document and press Ctrl+Q (ResetPara). Assuming that the
frame is not part of the paragraph style, this will remove the frame. It
will also, however, remove any other direct paragraph formatting, and, as
Cindy points out, the text in the frame will be inserted above the paragraph
to which it is anchored, which will be chancy.

If you want to remove the frames as she suggests, you can double-click one
frame border to open the Frame dialog, select Remove Frame, then select the
next frame and press F4 (Repeat), continuing till all the frames have been
removed.


Thanks for the help. Ctrl+Q pretty much destroys everything. It's
very frustrating that I see ASCII characters (letter, numbers, and
spaces), but I cant save it as a text file that way.

Maybe I need to buy a new printer - one who's OCR software doesn't but
all the text in about 20 frames on each page.

There's got to be some solution - because I can SEE it. I just can't
edit it properly in those frames.
