I have a text box frame in a Word document which has no text inside. I need
to get rid of the box. Can anyone assist? Thanks.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...lyIndented.htm .
The article addresses an empty frame in the header or footer, but the
instructions also apply if your empty frame is in the main body (just
skip the part about opening the header or footer).

Hi, Garfield, etc.

The delete key does not delete the box.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Doug Thomas

Do you have the text box selected when you Delete? That is, is the insertion
point in the text box, or is the text box highlighted with a hashed border
and six sizing handles?
