Remove frames?

Question

Hi all

I routinely open pdf documents under Acrobat and then save them as Word documents, then opening them under Word to edit. Sometimes part of these appear as separate framed paragraphs. I would like to remove the frames and keep the text. I have searched for a solution and one says eg 'Select the whole document...' (easy, just ctrl-A) '...and click 'Remove Frames'. But I cannot find 'Remove frames' anywhere on the ribbon.

Add it to the Quick Access Toolbar.  It is in the All Commands or Commands Not in Ribbon groups.

If you remove the frames, the formatting will collapse probably rendering the document unreadable. If you want to extract text from PDF documents without frames you will need OCR software that offers that option, such as ABBYY Finereader.
