Delete text frames and text

Using Word 2003: I am trying to delete all text frames and the text in
documents. I have tried various For Next routines that have deleted only
some of the frames but have left bordered text in their place. Help!!

Hi CLG

What kind of frame are we talking about here? The kind that's added from the
Forms toolbar, or the kind that's added from Format > Frames?

Hope this helps.

To delete all frames and preserve the text, you can select the whole
document and press Ctrl+Q. If frame formatting was applied via styles,
just clear the frame via the Modify Style dialog box.

To clear all frames and their text, you can use the following macro:

Sub RemoveFrames()
Dim f As Frame
For Each f In ActiveDocument.Content.Frames
f.Range.Text = ""
f.Delete
Next f
End Sub

To remove all text boxes, including their contents:

Sub DeleteTextBoxes()
Dim s As Shape
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Shapes
If s.Type = msoTextBox Then
s.Delete
End If
Next s
End Sub
