Hello,
I often copy a document from the internet to a Word file, and I end up with the copied document
framed; I can't get rid of the columns without deleting the entire document.
How can I remove the columns to space out the document without losing the entire document?
Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello,
With WORD 03, you select your column and ask to convert the column to Txt, but I'm not sure if you will keep the formatting of your text. -
Try this: select all the text and in the Table tools choose "Convert table to text".

I use a bit of a hacky method!
With OpenOffice,
when my text is pasted into OpenOffice (with all the borders), I (re)cut only the text from OpenOffice, leaving me with just the borders, which I then delete.
Then I (re)paste the text I had saved in the clipboard
It's not ideal, but it works. -
You open a new document and you only copy the text in each box that you paste into your new document.
You can do this directly from the browser by only copying the text parts, so in several times.
If you select the whole page, you also select the boxes.
Have a nice day.
