I have a document filled with frames. How do I get rid of the frames
and copy the text inside the frames?
o Put the cursor into a frame - without the frame itself selected, so
you don't see the eight coloured handles.
o Go to Edit | Select All (or Ctrl+A).
o Copy or Cut.
o Place the cursor where you want the text.
o Paste.
o Click at the edge of the frame, to show the eight coloured handles.
o Delete or Backspace.
I don't see any simple way to extend this technique to process more
than one frame at a time.
Alternatively, you may want to experiment with saving the document as
HTML or exporting it as PDF. If you open these in your favourite
browser or PDF viewer, you may have the facility to copy all the text
and paste it back into a text (Writer) document.
I trust this helps.
