Deleting all Anchored Boxes at once? 1

[uzapuca]

Hi guys,

Is there any way to deleting all anchor boxes at once while keeping the text format? I have a report and i don´t know why in the name of **@! the guy wrote some text into Anchor boxes all over.

I have to copy all the text and paste it into Indesign (actually Place it, not paste it) and the anchored boxes just paste anywhere. Very annoying indeed. I would like to keep the text in the boxes but out of the Anchor.

Thanks for any info and Cheers,
Sebastian

Indeed. That is a truly awful use of Word. There may be a reason why it came out that way (an automated generation by another application perhaps?), but from the image I see no need for the use of textboxes at all.

However,

"I would like to keep the text in the boxes but out of the Anchor."

AFAIK, you can not do this. From what I can see, those are Shapes and Shapes ARE anchored. Why would you want to keep them in the boxes anyway?

Thanks for the info! The boxes did contain text. Don´t know why somebody would like to put text inside a shape.

I did manage to delete format or style and it is ok now. The problem is the text has some bold or italics which i need to maintain i will have to change it one by one by hand....

Cheers,
Sebastian

Better to use proper Styles.
