If the original document is still to hand, and the OCR program, sometimes (depending on the OCR program) the frames can be removed by choosing "Plain text output" rather than "Preserve formatting" output and OCRing the document once again. The exact wording of these two options will depend on the OCR program. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
