Default Remove Text Boxes, keep the text

Some Pdf-to-Word/RTF converters produce documents with hundreds of text
boxes that each contain a piece of the text.

Rather than laboriously extracting their content one box at a time, is
there a way to automatically remove all the boxes and keep the text (I'm
using Word 2003) ?


I saved the file as a .doc and the stupid text boxes go away. Then re-save as .docx.
