I need to convert a Form document to text while maintaining the formatting
but without the "strange" box that appears around every drop-down list. I
can remove the shading and can also convert the whole document to plain text
but lose the heading and sub-heading formatting. Is it possible to do?

There should only be a box around a *selected* form field?
The following macro will unlock the form and convert all the form fields to
text

ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
With Selection
.WholeStory
.Fields.Unlink
End With

Formatting in the document shouldn't be affected.

The problem arises when you convert to *plain text* as plain text is merely
that - text! It does not support formatting.
