There can also be textboxes in other story parts such as headers and footers. The second problem is that only textboxes in the document body are deleted. The solution is to delete in reverse order.
The first problem is that the macros will not delete all the textboxes in one pass because as a shape is deleted the number left decreases and changes. This means that the macro may result in a fair amount of work that needs to be done in formatted the transferred text. Understand, as well, that anything "special" in the text-such as tables-is converted to regular text by the macro. You can then edit the text so that it appears as you want. When this macro is done, you can do a search for "Textbox start" and you will be at the beginning of text that used to be in the text boxes that are now gone from your document. ' insert the textbox text before the range object ' copy text to string, without last paragraph mark If you prefer to transfer the text from the text boxes to the document, prior to deleting the text box, then a slight modification on the above macro will work: In other words, if a text box is used for placement of text, then the text in that text box is deleted along with the text box itself. You should realize that this macro removes all of the text boxes and their contents. The following macro will quickly remove all text boxes in your document: If you want to get rid of only the text boxes, then the quickest solution is to use a macro. (I told you this was a brute force method.) The obvious drawback to this approach is that the other formatting of the original document is also lost, and you must reformat the entire document. The document text, minus the text boxes, is now in the new document. In the list of formats, choose Unformatted Text.Word displays the Paste Special dialog box. Click the down-arrow under the Paste tool (at the left side of the ribbon) and choose Paste Special.Make sure the Home tab of the ribbon is displayed.One potential solution is a "brute force" method. What if there are 30, 40, or more text boxes, though? Deleting them individually can quickly get tedious. If there are only one or two text boxes in the document, it is not that difficult to select them and delete them.
If you do a lot of work with documents from other people, you may have a need to remove text boxes in those documents.
