Well, at worst you can select all the text in the frame and Cut, then Paste
in the desired location outside the frame. Alternatively, you could remove
all the frames (using Remove Frame and F4 as suggested) after numbering the
frames in the desired order. In other words, just type 1, 2, 3, etc., at the
beginning of the text in the frames to make it easier to reorder the content
after removing the frames.

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.
