Re: Conversion Frame to Text Box

Graham :
First, thank you for your help.
But I am not sure I fully understood you.
My situation is the following - There is a macro that copies text inside
textboxes and places this text in a table. (See macro at
http://www.necco.ca/dv/macros/word/textboxes_out_in.txt)
I need to do the same with text inside frames. I thought that the easiest
way would be to just convert Frames to Text Boxes. It seems it is not that
easy. Is there a way to modify the macro above to find and copy the text in
each of the frames (instead in each of the text boxes)?
Thanks again,

Pauba
