Default Extract Text out of Textboxes

Hi,

Our OCR-program puts editable text in textboxes in a Word.doc. If we stay
within the textboxes there is no problem.
If we want to add more text than the textbox enlarges with the risk that it
will overlap the underlying textbox.

Is there an easy way to extract all text from ALL textboxes in one Word.doc
and paste it as normal text in another textbox?

Mario

Default Extract Text out of Textboxes

I have not yet come across an OCR package that doewsn't give the option to
save as plain text. There are no text boxes in plain text. Text boxes make
for dreadful formatting
