How to remove table from text?

[Delphi123]

Dear friends:

I have completed a poetry and criticism book of around 160 pages in MSWord .doc (and OpenOffice .odt) format entitled "Mythmaker and Other Poems." but I have encountered one problem I have been unable to resolve. The book ends with two critical studies. The second, a study of Dylan Thomas' "Altarwise by Owl-Light has a table or border around it that I cannot get rid of. It comes from the original border surrounding the text of the ten poems as copied and pasted from the Internet. How do I get rid of it so as to achieve consistency in my formatting?

Would appreciate your help.

Thank you so much.

Open the document in Word, scroll down to the area with the borders and put the cursor inside the framed area. A small box with a four-headed arrow should appear at the upper left-hand corner. Put the cursor outside the border under the box so it turns into an arrow and click. That selects everything inside the border...it'll all turn black with white text.

With that selected, go to the menu bar, click on Table, point at Convert and click on "Table to Text." I preferred the results with "Paragraph Marks" and "Convert nested tables" checked. You can always undo and try another combination if you don't like the way that looks.

Then adjust the spacing however you want it.
