I have a document with a number of text boxes in it. How can I move the text
from the boxes onto the page, so that it behaves like ordinary text, without
cutting and pasting every box?
Thanks

Convert the text boxes to frames and remove the frames (Ctrl+Q will likely
do the latter). After you've converted the first text box to a frame (which
is an option on the Text Box tab of Format Text Box), F4 should handle each
subsequent one.

Thanks that worked OK but how do I now get the text from the frame onto the
page without cutting and pasting every one?

When you remove the frame, it will be just ordinary text.
