Recently I converted a PDF file of a script to an ODT file and opened in Open Office. It has boxes around everything-Character, Scene Heading, Dialog...etc. I cannot delete these boundary boxes which is keeping me from editing. If I click on the box and Delete It deletes everything. I went to View and Text Boundaries is NOT selected, I went to Paragraph - Borders and No Borders is selected. I went through to Styles and Formatting - Modify through EVERYTHING on the list including Text Frame, Header, Table...etc. and NONE of it showed any border selected! I even tried changing the Anchors of the box, NOTHING! Please help, I'm about to lose my mind! Thank You

Please upload a small document showing the problem. Maybe make a copy of your file and delete everything except the first page.
To upload a file, click Post Reply and look for the Attachments tab just below the box where you type a response.

Also mention in which module of OpenOffice the file opened; Draw, Writer?
