Text boxes are always anchored to a text paragraph; there is nothing you can
do about that.

Perhaps you can copy and paste text in plain text format? That would exclude
any anchored text boxes.

Hi

I have an Auto Text system for our specifications. I also have all the
paragraphs with their codes on filed pages so they can be looked up
easily. In order to number the individual paragraphs I have put a text
box outside the page in the left hand margin with the para code in,
however when I use copy and paste to transfer the paragraphs for other
uses it carries the code in the text box with it. Is there any way I
can put a code outside the page area that won't be carried with cut and
paste?
