The short answer is no. However you can delete the frame and replace it with
a text box. A macro containing the following lines will do that if you
select the text the frame contains first.

ActiveDocument.Frames.Delete
Selection.CreateTextbox

A text box is in the drawing layer and thus is not seen by some Word
functions acting in the text layer. A frame is in the text layer of the
document.

Hello guys:

Let's say you have a text box.
If you right-click it and open the "Format text box" window. Then,
you go to the "Text box" tab, and there you can "Convert to Frame."
The question is, if I have a Frame, can I convert it to a text box? I
could not find any way to do it... not even through a macro.

Thanks for your help.
