The OCR program ReadIris has provided me with a set of

I would like to create a single frameless document for editing,

How does one remove frames without losing the contents?
Hi Pete,
If you are comfortable with some "hacking" you have 2 options :
1) write a macro
2) save the file in ODT format (turning off the "Size optimisation for XML"
option in "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Load/Save" -> "General", then unzipping
the ODT file, and edit the contents.xml file to remove the frame elements.
You will of course have to re-zip the files to edit the document in OOo again.
1) Maybe I'll try writing a macro.
2) contents.xml has but two lines in it -- i.e., no form at all.
Very difficult to pick out the tags. Also, it looks like the text
is not in order!! Each frame has a name and they must somehow be
linked or use pointers!!
So how come Writer lets you insert frames/boxen but doesn't let
you say "Ooops!"???
