Word 2000 - convert text box to 'ordinary' text
Hi all
Does anyone know how to convert text in a text box into ordinary free flowing text? I have an elearning application that generates a Word document from the slides and instructions, but instead of creating a free flowing document that's easy to edit, it puts each piece of text in its own separate text box. Which is a real pain to format. Is there any easy way to convert this? Thanks PS - crossposted to m.p.w.newusers and m.p.w.programming in case there's a macro that'll do this |

Word 2000 - convert text box to 'ordinary' text
You can convert the text box to a frame and then remove the frame. Unless
the frame is part of the paragraph formatting (which in this instance it clearly won't be), you can remove it by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Q. Convert the text box using the Convert to Frame... button on the Text Box tab of the Format Text Box dialog. -- Suzanne S.
