how do I remove all frames within a document

Topic

New Reply

Ive a word document. Theres frames throughout the document. which indicates to me, the orginial format was in PDF and OCR scanned. The result is each paragraph is contained within a frame.

currently im selecting each paragraph, right mouse clicking, select Format Frame, click Remove Frame, click OK.

This is a very manual, labourious and time consuming way to remove the frames.

is there an easy way to select all & remove frames?

note: i have several documents with frames throughout the doc.

many thanks
diana

Perhaps:

Code:

Sub RemoveAllFrames()
Dim intCount As Integer
With ActiveDocument
    For intCount = .Frames.Count To 1 Step -1
        .Frames.Item(intCount).Delete
    Next
End With
End Sub

Would you believe that one of Word’s many hidden standard commands is Remove Frames. Presuming you are using Word 2007, use Customize Quick Access Toolbar, Select All COmmand and scroll down the list to Remove Frames and add it to the QAT.

In your document, SelectAll (Ctrl+A) and press the new command button.
