Thanks again! I couldn't figure out how to format the text box so it would
expand to fit the text that is pasted into it (the way a table cell would).
Is there a way to do this? If not, I might try the table cell idea, or the
global style font formatting idea of another posting. I'd thought of a global
font idea, since the answers are all in bold, but there are many other parts
of the document that also are in bold. Nothing to stop me from creating a
style definition, though!I knew there was an easier way to do this! Now there
are potentially two.

Create one the way you want it, select it, and save it as an AutoText entry.
Then insert the AutoText where you want it. Not quite global, but easier
than redoing each time. Otherwise, Frames can be a part of a style
definition.

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?
