Hi Guys,
I have a document that is full of text boxes around the paragraph. I've been unsuccessfully trying to remove the text boxes by highlighting them and hitting my delete button when i do that the whole paragraph gets deleted. Can some one tell me the correct way to delete the text boxes? Thanks in advance

I tried to find a way, but have the same problem you do. The closest I could come up with was to hilight the paragraph, copy it, delete the text box, and paste what you copied back. There's a possibility you could lose some of the formatting doing this if it was the text box that was formatted but that's the only way I could find to keep the text.

Cheers.
 
If you're looking to simply remove the borders so that the text appears to be floating, format the text box border to no line.

to delete a text box, hold shift key while you click on it then press delete.

hope this helps. peace! [peace]
